If the base is OK (which seems to be the case since it is working with other heads),
I would A) hold the new RBA head next to an old working RBA and make sure they are identical B) Try the screws in the old working RBA head in the new RBA head

Top looks OK. Make sure that the base is screwed in snug...I just removed the coil. Let me know if you want another pic with it installed

This is probably a dumb question but are different types of wire that we us more conducive than others? Thereby making it "easier " for the ohm meter to read? I hope that makes sense. I'm super puzzled as, like I said it's brand new and I made sure all screws were tight and that it was adequately screwed in to the base...
Yes, there are more conductive wires and less conductive wires, but this will not cause the issue you're dealing with...

I wouldn't put too much stock in the idea that new stuff is good. I've got tons of defective vape stuff.
Good point! This is the second time I've had this exact same problem. The first one I took apart for parts. Seems suspect to me, perhaps it's a common problem
Just a note: 'Conductive' is basically the opposite of 'resistive'. The coils we use for vaping are high resistance wire; the resistance creates heat - like the filaments in old time light bulbs and the heating elements inside toasters. Our high resistance wires are far less conductive than the wires that are used for plugging stuff in (like copper based wires for instance),
Take the suspect rba, with coil installed, and use your meter on the rba BEFORE putting it in the base. If it's still an open circuit (non, 9.99 or whatever), then the rba is somehow defective. If you get a resistance reading close to what you built, the rda is ok, and the problem is likely to be that the rba pin isn't making contact with the mating pin on the base.

Wow! I didn't know you could test a coil without a base! I took one that is working and pressed it into the ohm meter and got a reading!
No that's not your issue. Are you sure the leg wasn't sucking out and touching the surrounding chimney ? Because everything you're relaying sounds like a short. Especially given when the surrounding chimney is not on it's not having an issue. The chimney is so close to where the leads come out. I'm sure that's gotta be it.
Well something from he inside is shorting to the chimney. Maybe it's leaning a bit or cross threaded when you put it on. Put the chimney on then snap a picture as close as you can from the top down.
It actually looks like the top screw in this picture overhangs the lip. Is that the angle or is tjenscrew too big ? The rba comes with replacement screws right ? If so replace them.
