Default Fuel Line Issues

I bought a set of braided fuel lines, and now I can't seem to get the stupid things to go onto the rail or the other end? I've attached some photos of what the connectors look like, is there another end I could possibly get to screw onto the ends that will go on and be more less likely to leak at a local parts store? Trying to get ready for a show, so some help and advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Had that plastic garbage come apart on me on the highway. I was lucky the car didn't burn to the ground.
Used a Swagelok fitting to replace it. It can never come off or leak.

Ok, so it would help if I had the lines going to the correct place. The first one on the left is the one that goes onto the back of the fuel rail. the end unscrews, goes at the bottom and then pushes onto it and just tightens up. The one on the right is the other one going to the evap solenoid. Again, do I need to change both of those ends so I have no issues of them blowing off or causing me any problems?

The one for the evap is fine left stock. It is not flowing fuel, just vapors.

that first one looks just like the one that came with the lines I have that goes on the actual fuel side with the threaded cap.....so does that mean that I don't have to change those?
