I thought the same thing - but the original flexible line is about an inch longer than it needs to be actually (no problem though - it just flexes upward a little). The trick is that the flexible line is reversed with the metal elbow end now attaching to the new shorter metal pipe instead of the oil tank. The new metal line shoots directly from where it connects to the case straight across the backside of the engine and meets up with the reversed flexible line. You will know if you have it in the right position because there is a metal tab welded to the new metal line that attaches to an existing sheet metal bolt to help secure the line from vibration. I'm including a picture of my flexible line in the new reversed position. This shot is taken from the angle of looking in from the passenger side rear wheel well with the tire removed. The new metal line is not installed yet in this picture. When I did the final install I connected the new metal line to the flexible line before attaching to the car so I could really snug the connection together.
