On Agilent systems, the septum goes in the recessed portion and the nut goes on but only until the snap ring lifts off of the surface of nut. That's basically all done with your fingers. In 20+ years of doing this, I've never had a leak and I've always done it that way. You don't have to put a wrench to it to seal the inlet from the top.
Wow! Torquing it down so hard that the liner cracked. That's amazing.
It's not the septum nut which breaks liner when overtightened - it's insert retainer nut.
