Radiator Trans Cooler Line "E CLIP" read->

Hiya there! Good evening.... so i recently replaced my radiator with a new stock radiator and IT WAS a PITA to put the "E Clips" back onto the transmission cooler lines.... I feel like only one side goes in and theres not room for the other side.

My question : if they aren't fully in will the line's slighty leak?

If you don't get the lines installed properly they will absolutely leak.. Or worse, pop off while you are driving down the road.

For what it's worth, you can put the clips in while the radiator is out of the car to make it easier...not that it helps you now.

Cooler line clip question...

Clip is rather easy, when you know there's seemingly three positions for it and will only work in one.
