Default Proper gasket/o-ring between a/c condenser and liquid line?

When I bought my car the a/c was evacuated and the connection between the liquid line (the top one) and the condenser was detached. There is a sleeve that fits into the condenser with rubber on the bottom (condenser) side, but there wasn't anything on the top. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an o-ring or anything on the top side before I go to recharge the system.

Thanks!

When I replaced mine recently, the factory liq line had a new Oring on the portion of the liq line that fits into the condensor. That is the only seal on that connection.

Was there a portion of the line that stuck out of the end and into the condenser? I wonder if my piece is aftermarket, or if it snapped off the end of the line.
