Is there an easy fix for this ? Like a repair coupling etc. I don't know much about what you can do with metal lines. Or do I need new trans return line?
I believe the help section in auto stores has the flared fitting you desire on a short straight piece so you could install and put a small section of hose between and if it’s short you just need clamps and wouldn’t need flares but a simple flats is not a bad idea to help lock any hose down.
