My suggestion would be to do a trial assembly without one of the washers.
There should be enough travel on the bolt to pull up snug even with one
washer missing. If the banjo remains loose without one washer, then the
bolt is too long, or the threads are damaged. Adding an extra washer might
be enough to work around the problem (although of course it would be better
to find the defective part and replace it).
I assume you've already inspected for cracks or flaws in the sealing
surfaces.
