The stock fitting threads in and then has a lock nut you tighten to the casing that clamps down the o ring so it should work with the new fitting.
I also found out the shop may have used the wrong fluid in the trans, so having several litres dump out isn't the end of the world. I got to drop $150 on new fluid which is annoying though.

On the German Look oil system, I switched out the o-ring on ORB fittings to a crush washer. Solved my issues. You'll also get another 1/2 to 3/4 thread engagement. Might help with your UK fittings.
