Pump drain filter won't close

Hi.
I had a major leakage from the bottom of the washer (front loader), the first thing I did was to remove the filter and clean it up.
I'm trying to put it back and I'm not able to secure it, I'm able to reinsert the lid but not the screw thread as if it doesn't fit.
