there isn't one compression fitting that is a little longer than the other so that one side only tightens on the oil cooler side and the other tightens on the enigne side

There is a crush washer there. Be sure to use two wrenches when installing the hoses. Use a 21mm or a 7/8 but grind it down to make it thin to match the fitting. Otherwise, you will crack the oil cooler and engine inlets.
