1st are you 100% sure the hose is the right size? if so.....Try sanding the nipple with coarse paper to make it rough and you can apply some crazy glue or clear nail polish and clamp it down.

I would use hi-temp RTV silicone just a light coat on the connection tube that the hose fits onto. I would also give it some time to cure before running the engine,like doing it at night and letting it set undisturbed until morning.Ensure the clamp is in good condition also,there cheap so keep all of them replaced on your engine.
