I think your lines maybe slightly bigger than mine. The depth on the bevel for the curve I used is 0.5″, which is radius , as @blanchsb ‘s knowledge he shared. Cant remember what you used but I think adjusting the size of the joint, nut, union, not sure what it’s called, where yours meet mine might be the best option. I have increased the diameter of the centre as much as possible without increasing the size as a whole, but I could If needs be.

Also I noticed the way your lines come from the loader arm where the turn towards the swing frame , the best location for each to avoid collisions would be the outer line to bottom connector, outer to inner line – bottom to top connector on each side. Does that make sense, not sure it does. The two outer lines to the two bottom hoses , next two lines from the outside to the next connector up, and so on. OK I’m sure you are smarter than me and know what your doing.
