This assembly in the photo above looks okay. I can't tell if the brass tube is all the way in but this is how it should look. It looks right but there still may be a leak.
I can't tell where your leak was. There are 4 places to leak in this photo:
1) above peek (unlikely)
2) above brass pipe
3) above block
4) above nozzle (below block)
If you have trouble taking this apart, you must heat to 120C first. Put a drop of water on the aluminum, and heat this in a flame (without burning the peek!!!) until the water boils completely away and heat for a little longer then any parts that were stuck will now rotate.
NOTE A: It's super critical to put the nozzle in first, then put the brass pipe in SECOND. This way you stop all leaks. Do this while the aluminum is above 100C (any temperature from 100C to 200C is fine so just boil water on the aluminum).
If you do "note a" you will eliminate leaks at #3 and #4. Full instructions start on page 45 here:
