My first guess is that the lock ring is not as tight as you think.
Second guess is a large burr on the lock ring that bottoms out before the lock ring seats properly on the frame.
Third and fourth are partially stripped threads somewhere that barely hold and an extremely non square BB shell.

I do not advise using thread locker on bb threads. It shouldn’t be required and can be a real bugger to reverse.
