I often have to install taps that have that same setup (wall plate and tap that screws into it), and have the same problem but it’s much less of an issue as a temporary water supply on a building site.
My guesses would be using a nut as a lock ring like you suggest, or to get an oring/gasket that sits inside for it to tighten up against.
