Default Transmission cooling line leak

The transmission cooling line was leaking from the connector. I noticed that the line was loose and I assumed it was the connector. I got a new connector from the dealer and there was a noticeable difference between the two. I replaced the connector with the new one. The line still moves but I haven't had any leaks yet. Any idea if this is a normal thing for the line to be loose?

The new looks like the updated part - the originals leak so they redesigned them.

Default Update

So far no leaks. I took out most of the wax plug that was in the new connector. Used it as lube on the o-rings. Had to go to the dealer to get the connector. They quoted me $17 for the part, discounted it to $13 when I picked it up.
