Right, so you're basically shoving the socket as tightly as you can into the neck of the skin-fitting? Doesn't sound like it would be watertight enough for a kettle...
Nah, you still sound confused.
The socket takes the place of the nut essentially. You could choose to use both the nut and the socket though, by using the nut to tighten the skin fitting to the vessel-then using the socket to simply convert the male thread on the skin fitting to a female so it can then accept the male thread from the thermometer. Hope you follow.
Or if you cut the skin fittings shaft length down so that it was the correct length to 1. tighten the skinfitting to the keg using the socket instead of the nut and 2. leave enough female thread in the socket for the thermometer to be screwed into it as well.
I've tried my best to describe it but it's hard doing that by text. Perhaps in this instance it would be best to pursue a different route
Batz, this is your baby-maybe you should be answering the questions LOL
