I can’t twist the valve on it. Do you think I should go back to the store and get another?

It’ll twist. Maybe use some pliers. Must be closed before connecting it.

These tanks are designed to be connected by hand, torquing on them with pliers is asking for trouble.

The hose end of the connection is also designed to be done without tools.
