II don't generally notice thatI've crossed the threads until I'm at least six revolutions in. Haha I think you need to apply some elbow grease, if you know what I mean.
The thing about cross threading is that it leaves filings behind. Snug it in by hand, then use your tool to move it a couple more revolutions. Now back it out and inspect the threads and bracket cup. If it's clean, reinsert and take it a bit further. It'll start moving soon enough
