Default oil cooler lines leaking

I replaced my radiator for the 3rd time about a year ago, to an all aluminum one.. tired of the plastic ones going out on me, and within the last couple months it has been leaking around the quick connect oil cooler lines. I replaced the oil cooler lines with new ones that go to the engine block. the connector tightens down all the way, but the lines that are held in with the retaining wire... those lines just don't tighten up. i can move them around rather easily and they are spewing oil around that area. starting to leave small puddles. i've taken them off and reconnected the connectors to make sure all was on right. is there any way i can correct this?

Is this a truck? What year?

Please tell us what vehicle you have, it's year and some details about it.
