This isn't a problem per se.. when I replaced a sticking caliper, I installed it onto the existing brake hose. This worked fine, but was a bit of a job as the connections were fairly well corroded at both ends.
Front driver side replaced, but front left side is on my list as preventative. At the same time, I ordered a new pair of hoses as they were fairly inexpensive.. the thought being a full brake fluid flush and replacing both hoses would be worth while.
The fit seems a little odd though? See attached... doesn't seem to screw the whole way in?

Caliper and Brake Hose Fit?
AS long as there are no leaks it should be fine, replace mine on a Morgan with stainless hoses years ago and they fitted same as your picture, never had an issue with them.
