Default Loose oil line connector? Need help (with video)

Today I noticed a few drops of oil on the ground. I traced it back to the oil line connector. It could spin somewhat freely, I thought I 'tightened' it, but it never felt all that right. I go out for a test drive and the car is spitting out oil from this connection point. I jack the car back up and I'm playing with the connector and I don't see how it can have a secure connection.

The car was running fine for almost a year, had the oil cooler installed by a great and reputable local shop. The oil cooler is a combo oil cooler/radiator from RSD, a shop that also specializes in Corvette parts.

Is the fitting too small? I can never get it tight. It just spins and wobbles inside of the oil cooler. Even with the oil line snapped into the connector, it still spins and wobbles.

Thanks. Definitely the wrong connector. RSD is sending me ones that will fit. Hope to get it today.
