Power Steering hoses

Guys,
I was installing a reman steering rack from advance auto in my 2002 4x4 supercab (4.0L auto). Managed to get it all in, but it seems that one of the quick connect fittings is loose. It is the lower one, which I believe is the pressured side coming from the cooler. The top one seems tight when I tighten the retaining plate nut, but the bottom still has some play. What do you think?

PS. It seems like the collar is below the top surface, so there is a gap between the retaining plate and the top of the collar.

Just in case anyone has this problem in the future. I hooked it up and gave it a shot, and no leaks. Bravo!
