I replaced the anode some time ago, but I don't recall a problem screwing it back in place. You might have the new anode screwed in as far as it can go (?) Or, there could be additional corrosion on the threads that you can't readily see. You might try using a small brass bristled brush. The brass is stiff, but won't damage the water heater threads. Ater having another go at cleaning the threads, I would connect the water supply and just see if it leaks at the anode.
