Default air line connection to air strut

Im replacing the rear air struts on my bonnie and i have a question on how the connection goes. it was stuck and when i pulled it out of the old strut it kind of broke. i fished 2 o-rings out of the old one and the new ones dont have any. also there was like a flange on the air line, do i cut that square or leave it alone?

You could look for a universal air line kit and see if you cant find one with same type fittings and use it

thanks but i got her done last night, something wrong with it though the struts feel almost like they are solid and the car sits up higher than it did.
