Need a 2nd eye on this radiator leak

Need a 2nd look to verify what I'm seeing. This radiator was allegedly replaced in March 2016, according to Carfax. Cant find a sticker to figure out what brand it is. Called the shop that did it in VA and they don't remember, but claim that they always use Genuine BMW.

The 1st picture shows the hose that I replaced a little over a week ago after having my coolant leak diagnosed at a local indy. Lower drivers side.

Obviously it is still leaking, as you can see in the picture, but it appears to be coming from the side of the radiator on the vanes ABOVE the hose.

2nd picture shows the passenger side, same wetness along the side. The green circle shows where I wiped off dried coolant.

3rd picture shows about halfway up the radiator on the drivers side.

This is the old style radiator with four ports. The new radiators were redesigned to delete the oil cooler-radiator-water pump connection. If needed, will replace with

Your opinion on the radiator being bad?
