A picture might help with the cooler lines because the originals did not use a barbed fitting so I'm confused about why you're fooling with the ones they sent. The ones you need are on your old rad or the nearest parts store.
If the cooler lines have already been butchered to use hoses and clamps now is your chance to fix them right or just do what you have to do to make the connection. Hoses and clamps aren't a good idea on a Mopar because the cooler circuit can see enough peak pressure to blow them off.
If I was going to the trouble of installing a new rad and it cooled the truck when I was done, it would instantly graduate from temporary fix to permanent.

I do have pics on my phone and will upload tomorrow. I've just been grabbing every bit of OT lately and there's been a bunch. The factory lines are good. I don't think they've been touched. It'll be clearer as you stated with pics.
