Those 3 hoses are:

fuel feed
fuel return
purge control to the charcoal cannister

What kind of clamps did you use? What kind of hose did you use?

maybe the clamps arent good enough. did you buy new clamps? the best thing to do is get "fuel injection clamps". they dont crimp the line and make it mush out of the sides. its got a solid band. thats the next step.

maybe the hardline has a small crack in it?

have you checked to see if the fuel leak is perhaps coming from further up under the UIM and running down the lines?

have you pulled the UIM and checked the FPR, the pulse dampener, and the injectors for leaks?
