Default fox to sn95 brake conversion please help

I have read every available article about this conversion and am 95% done with it. I have seen two different ways to plumb the new front calipers. those being replace and adapt car lines to sn95 hoses or use sn95 banjo bolts to adapt factory fox to sn95 calipers. Here is the problems. i have the correct banjo bolts and cannot get the factory lines to bolt to the calipers properly. They have larger ends than the sn95's and will have to be twisted badly to bolt them up. Second part of this issue is the fox lines have a ridge on one edge to prevent them from turniing on the caliper. On sn95 calipers the ridge is cast on the caliper and not the hose. This ridge is the problem. Either I am stupid and missing something or your cant use the factory hose. Please help me. Very tired and a little sick and patience is about gone.

thanks
