Welcome to the Forums, Sergio.
You could add another fibre washer, maybe two washers, so that each tap tightens up earlier and aligns as you want it.

get some loctite 577 and put it on threads and fibre washer and then do tap up to where you want it to sit and it should stay there once the loctite pipe thread sealant is cured .

Another method is to use the thread tape plumbers use (it is petrol proof) allows the tap to tighten to the spot you require. Helps with sloppy old threads prone to weeping.
