After pondering for a bit, I think the detachable nozzle was probably defected... Coz my left nozzle is screwed on real tight & I don't use olive tips.
This is plausible. There might have been a defect in the threads or a bit of metal chaff that prevented it from screwing down properly. I'm pretty sure the nozzles themselves are identical, so you could try installing the one you have remaining on the right earbud and see if there's a problem.
I've had my SE846's for a few months now, and apart from one or two filter swaps in the first week, I haven't removed the nozzles since. I have however swapped tips a few times, which always requires twisting them back and forth rather firmly to remove them, and the metal nozzles haven't budged.
