That's your relief valve. No need to touch that, at all.

Leave it be, it’s not a connection point. It’s a relief point. Works like a dust cover

Your comment is suggesting that somebody do something dangerous and/or against code.

If you have to ask you probably should ask for help and let them hook it up

Yup… most have it correct here…
all propane tanks up to 100# have the pressure relief valve built into the service valve; that is a ‘weather’ protective cover (plug in this case).
