You need the Italian threaded version, like this one.

36 x 24 means it is Italian threaded...
Take it to a bike shop and have them chase the threads, as I previously suggested. I wouldn't try to force and risk potential damage. At least if the bike shop screws it up, then they are liable for it.

The OP's first pics clearly show 36x24, so it's Italian. No problem there. I agree with @Pottsy, the dried threadlocker on the Shimano version makes it difficult to screw in by hand. I prefer to take a fine awl and remove the threadlocker and use an antiseize compound instead.

I have to be the biggest moron ..
It does fit just that I need to apply more turning force on the wrench to screw in the bb into the frame. Kind of scrarey when doing it as paranoid about damaging the thread. Having the loctite on the bb does not help.
Thanks to those whom have given advise.

Not moronic at all. Much better to stop when something doesn't feel right if you're not familiar with it than to just keep going and either strip it or break something and THEN figure out what you should have done in the first place. We've all been there I'm sure.
