Please help!!

Wondering if an expert can help me out here. 1988 ford ranger my friend just bought. The seller apparently did some clutch work on it and when we got it, he had the slave cylinder connector (aluminum one pictured) duct taped and zip tied. It doesn’t fit but I guess understandably so considering it looks pretty chewed up. Ordered a new master and hose from rock auto and it came with the brass connector. That one seems too long in the nose for the teeth on the quick connect to catch so we ordered the black plastic one. It looks very similar in length to the brass one and doesn’t fit as well. The slave cylinder connector is a black female with metal teeth inside. Is it possible he used a slave from a different make/model? If so, any idea which hose I should get? Thanks in advance!!!
