Upper Radiator Hose Problem (Pics) (HELP)

Yesterday I noticed anti-freeze leaking all over the ground.
I checked under the hood and noticed that there was a small tear in the end of the upper radiator hose where it was shooting out.
It was the original hose so not completely surprising or unexpected.

I went to Autozone to get a new hose and it took forever to put the bottom clamp on. I thought that the clamp looked like it was on too high.
When I drove to work today I smelt and noticed anti-freeze leaking again.
It appeared to be leaking out of the bottom of the hose.

I tried for awhile to force the bottom clamp lower but it looks like it is blocked by a part.

Is this the right upper radiator hose for my jeep?
Is the clamp on too high which is causing the leak?

Any help would be much appreciated Thank you.



^^^ I "illustrated" the part that is blocking the clamp from going any further.

haha you could tell me that Jeep in your avatar is mine and I would of completely believed you. Good looking rig you have there.

I guess I could try that if its the only option left. It is gonna be a big waste of antifreeze and time if it doesn't though.
