If you take one of the NPT to flare adapters out of your oil sandwich... take a good look at the angle of the flare. I wonder if you somehow got SAE flare adapter instead of AN flare.

The SAE flare is 45 degrees... so if you lay it on the table on its flare, 180 degrees from where its touching the table would be standing straight up and down.

Hard to describe lol... but its possible since the 3/4-16 thread of a -8AN is also comes in SAE 45 degree flare fittings.

Got a way to measure the flare angle? I am with you that this fitting must be the trouble since you have tried multiple hose ends. Now I am intrigued as to why you have a leak.
