we did get new plug wires but the piece of the wire that connects to the spark plug wont connect to the second spark plug and looks different from the rest of these pieces.

The plug wire insulators with the spring clips inside will push on and seem like they're stripping the threads but don't. I had a new set just recently where one of the wire spring clips became dislodged when I pulled the wire off. I was able to put it back in place with some needle nose pliers and make it work. How does the wire look different?

I can't really tell from your picture, but does that spark plug have cap on the end? Not sure what's it called, but when you get new spark plugs, you have to unscrew the cap to show the threads on the portion of the plug where the wires attach. That looks like that cap is on, but hard to tell. Would explain why the wires aren't going on it.

Wonder if there is any correlation between this and the missing clip? Hmmm |

Remove the plug and unscrew it by hand. I doubt it's on that tight. Don't over tighten the plug when you put it back in. Just make it snug. If you go too much you can strip the threads on the head.
