It should snap in and look identical like the other three connectors. Is it on the HPOP side or head that you are having trouble with?
On one I worked on recently, I used a small wooden dowel and a hammer to "lightly" drive it the final 1/16 of an inch.
Make sure the fitting is clean without burrs before you try that.

Currently, it's the passenger side 'head' end of the hose giving me a fit.
I have even swabbed inside the female side with a Q-tip looking for an obstruction. Luckily, I have plenty of wooden dowels

Go easy.... At least the fuel lines aren't in the way.... It will get easier to work on later when you are not in a time crunch.

We have a problem (apparently).
I tried attaching the old hoses (each of them) to the troubled connector. They seem to go 100% of the way in but do not lock and are easily pulled out
I'm thinking this means I have to replace the connector at the head ?

Short of someone else weighing in with an alternative, I would say yes.
Are the hoses OEM or aftermarket?

Up and running again :)
All Righty Then,,
I got a new connector from the Ford dealer then installed that and plugged in the hose without problems. I started the engine (took a couple tries to get the air out of the lines) and drove to the car-wash to clean up the oil mess made when the hose came out of the bad connector. It's still taking a little more cranking to get the engine started but I hope that will clear up after I get onto the hiway.
Within an hour of getting the truck running, I got a call that the job in Nevada has been canceled. Not such a bad thing but I would have liked the paycheck.
