Turbo Oil feed line question

So I had my twins off to port the wastegate and was eager to get them back in. While rushing I did not look at torque specs and over tightened the connector on turbo oil feed line.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice how to fix this? Guessing I need to remove everything to slide the new connector on since when it has the lip it likely shouldn’t come off right?

you dont fix that. the feed line needs to be replaced. the nut is deformed so there is no reliable way of getting that back on and being confident about it.

good luck
