PTFE Tube has rim?

After a series of unfortunate mistakes by yours truly I needed to replace my original hot end assembly (I proceeded to damage my second heat sink threads, so I'm on my third one of those, but I digress). One thing that I noticed when I first disassembled the OG hot end is that my PTFE tube has a rim around it:

PTFE with Rim?

Because of this rim I can't get the heat sink to fully screw onto the heat break. Why does this rim exist? I don't see replacement PTFE tubes like it in the store and it seems to not work with reassembly.
