You would need a copper washer. If you look inside of the fitting, it does not have for an inverted flare.

The threaded hose end does NOT need to seat inside the union. Threads and copper washer provides the real seal.

That union appears to be flared inside. That would make the seal if you had a hose with male flare. Since you don’t a copper washer will make the seal.
Yes. You can usually purchase a pack copper washers at your local auto parts store.

I cut my previously flared brake hose threads down to about the length of your OEM hose pictured. It bottoms out on the washer surface long before it reaches the bottom of the union. The copper washer provides the seal.
I've used a file b4. I think the fitting is aluminum . Be sure to blow out the hose to clear any debris. Looking at your hose end you shouldn't have an issue with the length of the threads.
Thank you all for answering my Noob question
