Default Compressor Hose keeps getting pushed out of Compressor - Advice

Hello, I have an issue where my compressor keeps pushing out the main compressor hose that goes to the solenoid to distribute the air to each suspension shock. I first tried some gorilla glue but it lasted a few weeks and popped it out of the compressor the other day and now I want a permanent solution that would resolve the issue or at least something more long term. I'd like to fix it without having to change out the entire hose from the car.

When you're tighten the screw, the rubber part should expand the press against the tube to lock it. You should not need any glue. You're missing some rubber grommet or ring.

Does it go inside the screw itself? I'd like to see what piece I'm missing to try and replace it.

It looks like I'm missing this piece that looks like it wedges around the hose when the screw is tightened up. Here is a few pictures of it. Can somebody please tell me where I can buy this at or a way to mimic it? It goes inside the screw itself from the inside I believe to apply pressure on the hose so it doesn't pop out. Anybody know where I can buy this piece at?

Tried all day to find this piece and it's literally impossible to find. If anybody knows where I can get it please let me know.
