Tip of previous hot shoe may be broken off in socket of top cover, that is
why new shoe 4 will not screw on.

Subject: [OM] Problem with OM-2n Hot Shoe Socket
> I just purchased an OM-2n on Ebay. The body is actually in very good

> cannot get an accessory shoe 4 or a TTL connector 4 to attach to the
socket.
> The threads don't ever "bite". I've attached both shoes to an OM-1n with
no

> venture a guess on how expensive such a repair might be? Overall, I'm
happy
