You need to push the hose into the connector until the retainer tabs lock, pull back on the hose to verify the proper engagement, and connect the inlet hose to the heater core, the water shut-off valve, or the tee fitting. Install the inlet hose clamp, the inlet hose mounting screw, and the inlet hose to the fender clip. Then add the engine coolant and inspect the system for leaks.
