Question Issues lining oil cooler line up-88 FC Vert

So, i purchased the Corksport SS braided oil cooler lines, but i cannot manage to get the upper line banjo fitting to match the top of the cooler. Maybe im routing it wrong? Anyone else have this issue? Could someone post a picture of how the lines are originally run? Im 99% sure ive got it right, but ive been trying for an hour with no luck...
Thanks in Advance!

Have you tried taking the cooler off the mount to put the line on first?..Then mount the cooler back up and snug up the lines?

I removed the 4 bolts, but not the entire cooler. It doesn't seem like there is enough of a bend at the end. Maybe I'll try to completely remove the cooler

I remember doing the braided lines and having to actually drop the cooler down to put the top line on.
That is why I am suggesting that.
The lines just don't have the benadability(new word!) to snake in the old stock spot,so they need some encouragement.
