Icon5 01 Accord LX new Brake lines I have a leak

Replaced the 2 main brake lines. Bleed brakes. Brakes are working great, except there is a leak at the valve assembly, proportioning. Where the two main lines fit in the top of the valve assembly looks to be the location of the leak. They were tiighted down as to be cautious not to strip the threads nor break the flare in the tubing. Suggestions? Could I be missing something? Also, any idea if there is a torque specification on the brake line fittings? If so where? Thanks. 01 Accord LX V6

Are you using a flare wrench ? Just an open ended wrench isn't going to be able to get it tight enough and will strip the threads.

Used a flare wrench. Maybe try loosening, reinstall then bleed brakes again?
