Question on Replacing Rear Brake Lines

Ok WHERE ARE THEY??? 02 x5 4.6

In all seriousness I bought stainless brake lines and the fronts are pretty obvious but the rears I dont see 1 continuous flow of rubber tube like the front that matches the replacements I bought.

What am I missing? The stoptech brake lines I received do not match up with anything I see under the x5. I double and triple checked the application even on stop tech website and its the right part number.

I took pics of the rear setup but most of you know it Im sure but at work and cant upload until this eve.

Getting ready to hang up the wrenches if I cant find something that should be this easy to spot. Please help can you not retrofit SS on rears? The stoptech shows specific application for 4.6 too.

EDIT: So I did more sleuthing and found that Bav Auto sells a set too and the rears have 4 vs other places ECS, StopTech etc that sell 1 per side (rear). So this is replacing that union then where metal brake line is contoured to fit in holders? These new lines will no longer sit cleanly is those OEM holders?

Thanks in advance!
