Two thoughts come to mind:
1) someone cross-threaded it. If so you may need to clean up the threads
with a tap.
2) There is something in there causing the bolt to bottom out. It may be a
broken off bolt or just an accumulation of debris. As I recall these are
weld nuts because they are blocked off my the spring perches which can
capture stuff under there. You may need a light and an inspection mirror to
investigate.
Good luck.
