It looks as if the nut bottomed out before the tubing was able to mushroom after the ferruls. I would remove the nut and ferruls and see if they can be slipped back over the tube. If not, that hose end will have to be replaced. If the nut and ferruls can be slipped back over the tubing, slide them back as far as possible, slide the tube into the compressor body as far as you can push it, slip the nut and ferruls back into position and tighten nut while holding the tubing tightly against the compressor. It's possible that the ferruls can still grab the tube and pull into the compressor body causing the end to mushroom and seal.
After doing this, give the tube a few good tugs to see if it holds. It's worth a shot.
