Molded heater hose

I'm having issues replacing what appeared to be B body heater hoses on my 440 R/T but the Year Ones i got
for A/E cars aren't molded like the others seem to be and the hoses kink or is it just cheap hose. There much
more pliable than the ones I took off which could be OEM as far as I can tell because there thicker and much
stiffer. I kinda sacrificed them when I was taking them off not thinking i would be needing to put them back on.
