hi im back!
maybe i have the easiest solution:
Thanks mr hemi cuda for giving me the best idea, to keep the stock hoses.
I just took some 20-22mm power hose clamps and some cloth tape and tighten the stock fittings.
(i used one wrap of tape under each clamp to make sure it grips and doesnt pinch)
i just had to drain the coolant and tanke the radi hose out to acces the trans lines.
no leaks detected after this fix
still dry after 1 month.
the only drawback is that they are not spinning fittings anymore. i couldn't care less. even easier to remember their tightening position.

I like to remove the factory crimped connection (cut it off with my Dremel tool) and clean everything up before reassembling. I also recommend using 2 hose clamps and have them placed in opposite directions.
I also reused the factory rubber hoses but others have replaced the rubber hose as well. After my repair it never leaked again while I owned the car.
