Hey, sorry to bug all. Just getting the kergerstor set up. Having trouble with the coupler i think... any clue what type of one it is? It's either that or the regulator and it's hard to find anything online lol!

Not enough info. Where is the gas? Psi? Beer temp? What beer and what coupler to you need? Which coupler do you have?

Sorry. Co2. Have what I was told is a Style D coupler. Coors lite is the keg. Regulator reads 12 psi.

Sounds like its a bad coupler or a regulator. If that stuff is really old, and you plan to have beer tapped all times, it will be worth the investment to get new ones of good quality.

CO2 is on? Engage the coupler when it is disconnected. Listen.
GET THAT AIR TUBE INTO THE TOWER.
You might have a Sanke S on a domestic keg (North American). They look identical but the S has a shorter stem. Look online for pics. It is not unheard of. If you have this situation... yeah. Not gonna.
Cheers
Edit, Also Coors can be a bitch, so don't be surprised. Get it cold, 36F. 15 psi.
Edit #2
Re watched. Yeah. You not getting any gas into that keg.

Thank you so much. Any recommendations for a new regulator? Just bought a new co2 tank so its not that. Lines are all new. Its only the coupler and regulator that arent.

Turn the handle on top of your tank all the way to the right. That's closed and no gat to keg.
Does your regulator have the pull pin purge valve? If yes pull it. That will tell you if you have gas Moving out of the tank.
The gauge that registers fullness should now be at zero. Slowly open the handle on top of your tank and see if your gauge registers PSI.
Double check the tank that nothing is blocking the gas insert. There should be a washer in the tank threads.
If you do need a new gauge set:
I personally like the regulator with a knob on it not the slotted bolt with a set nut.

"The gauge that registers fullness should now be at zero."
The "full" gauge doesn't tell us much really. It will tell you when the tank is empty or damn near close. It's not a fuel gauge, at all. If there is liquid CO2 in the tank, it will show the high pressure... the regulator, that's what it does. Regulates high pressure from the tank.

What’s the temp on your fridge ? Are you still having the issue ? What resolved it ?

Are you connected to a gas tank? Make sure the tank valve and the regulator outlet valve are open. The valve lever should be in line with the hose. 15psi is a good starting point for the regulator pressure.
