there's the OE 3/16" brake line that goes from the drum splitter brass block or from the prop valve (whichever you have) rearward to the metal bracket in front of the rear axle where it connects to the neoprene flex line. More info needed

With effort, time and $$$ you can make anything work.
Or, you could order New lines from some other company. Not sure if it's worth the effort to sue in small claims over the ones you received.
How Complete is the brake line kit (what line or lines are included)?
If it's complete, Would "guess" that the hookup to the master cylinder should be near identical, or does this line only extend from the Proportioning / brake-safety valve to the block connection at the rear axle housing?
If it extends from the rear axle housing to the brake cylinder versus brake calipers, you may have to modify the lines to get them to fit or function.
Modification may be as simple as carefully re-bending lines, or you may need to bend and form new lines if the ones you have are not long enough. Or, perhaps caliper lines are rubber flex type, or have different size/type end fittings, which would be another issue entirely.
Do you have any photos of what you received or will be receiving?

I switched from front drum to front disk brakes on my 70 Coronet. I know that there is no difference on the rear connection. I did order the set built for an adjustable proportioning valve but the tube from the P-valve to the manifold was a direct fit and the fittings were correct too. You could call a different manufacturer and ask if the pieces are the same. I purchased The Right Stuff lines for both fuel and brakes. Just for future reference, TRS is excellent both in product and customer service. I bought them through Summit, too, and they have a free return shipment policy for orders that were incorrectly filled and I have tested them on this. Class all the way.
I’m listening.

The line running from front to rear may only be different in length if it has a valve in it, in that case you would have gotten 2 lines.
Of course you still haven't said what car you are working on ...
running up my post count some more .
