Green loctite is a stud and bearing solution mount that will only allow removal with the application of heat. Red loctite is a super strong thread locker and Blue loctite is the normal thread locker. If you clean all threaded surfaces thoroughly with acetone before assembly, blue loctite should work fine.

But if it were me, I'd return the frame for a NEW ONE.
I am guessing someone noticed this as they would have had to known to switch around the BB.

Personally, I would demand a new frame as well. I would probably wait until fall or whenever you will be riding less though. If you do apply Loctite try to get it done by a shop that sells their brands so they dont blame you for messing things up if the BB won't come out or something.
