Question Aluminum tubing for transmission line question

Hey guys, I got some aluminum tubing from a local speed shop to run some nicer "hard line" for my transmission compared to the rubber hose I had before. My question is about hooking it up between the transmission and the frame. Can I connect the line the way I have it in the pics or do I need to just run a couple short pieces of rubber line from transmission over to the frame? I've never worked with aluminum tubing before and noticed it was a lot softer material than I'm used to so I researched it and found that aluminum tubing can crack and fail if it vibrates too much so thats why I'm asking your guys opinion. PS pay no attention to the wires lol
