Default HEL S/s brake lines flare seat problem

Hi all,

I just bought and received a new set of HEL stainless steel braided brake lines. Looking at the flare seat on the end that mates up with the hard line I noticed that its a double flare on the HEL line. Where as on an OEM line it's more of a conical shape/bubble flare.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? I don't think this is how it should be as they will most likely leak. Have I been sent the wrong set or are they all like this?
