Do you have the correct pilot orifice in the pilot assembly?
NG pilot orifices have larger holes due to lower gas pressures.

yes the right on is in its smaller then the NG can you think of anything else, I do have it hooked up to a 20 lb tank with a 2 stage regulator
You SHOULD be able to hear LP. NG is a little tougher.
Obviously, if you can hear the gas hissing you have
left the glass front off. Are you getting a good Spark,
& is it arcing from the element to the pilot hood?
You don't need to have gas flowing to check that.

Take the glass off. You don't want heavier than air LP puddling below that spark.
It'll gradually fill the firebox & scare the absolute CRAP out of you when it ignites.
Pull the burner pan/tube & leak test the area around the pilot assembly'
before you try lighting it again...

will do, but I think I should test the WC but I don't know how to adjust, where is the adjustment screw on the valve?
