Explain how they do not connect. I always knew for me, they are a pain in the *** to catch the threads and screw them in, If that is your only problem, You just need to mess with them at different angles until you can catch some threads, I usually have to tilt the line up some so it matches the transmission perfectly.

Plus, don't cross thread them.
The guy that owned one of my cars before me did that, and screwed up the brass fittings they screw into.
Joy oh joy..
