Looks to me like someone got the front and back lines reversed on your assembly just by looking at the pictures. I would send them the pics you just posted.
It looks like if I could twist the center line 180 degrees around everything "should" work out OK. I still want to call Pro Max since this is an expen$ive piece of fuel line I don't want to F-up... If need be I'll send them the pictures and see if they have an explanation.
