The inside taper on the tubes seems to be the problem... they are misformed or not fully formed.
The only way I could get them to seat was to take them one at a time and snug it down... then rotate the line 360 deg a few times and it would get looser... snug again... and repeat a few times... then I tightened them up on the car... viola no leaks! (you may be able to use a dbl flare tool and reform the inside tapers)
