Fortunately the solution is simple. You need to apply more plumbers tape. Each pipe thread (your outlet pipe and the Every Drop Shower Saver thread need about 12 turns of standard (white floppy) plumbers tape to take up enough slack to provide a water tight seal with enough soft pressure that allows you to stop the rotation at any position. For example, We want the Every Drop Shower Saver to sit with its shaft in the 6 o'clock position. If it doesn't get tight until it's in the 7 o'clock position then you need to wind more plumbers tape so that it gets tight in the 3 o'clock position and then tighten it a little more to end at 6 o'clock. If you install it with no plumbers tape the point where they stop rotation is a luck of the draw. It will be loose until the last moment where they become tight. Plumbers tape lets them get tight slowly over a larger range of rotation allowing it to stop over a much wider range. We have found that about 12 turns of plumbers tape on each thread gives enough tension to allow you to stop turning it at almost any angle while still firm enough to maintain its position and a water tight seal.
