The hose positions are correct. I have them exactly the same on mine as shown in your photo.

If you overtighten aluminum AN fittings they will leak. Check out

As a guide on how much to tighten them. You should also be using a sealant on the threads. I have used Permatex High Temperature Thread Sealant with success. I just run a bead around the fitting, then screw it in and tighten per the instructions. This has never failed to provide a leak free connection for me.

Good luck.
