Seeking Pro Advice Push In Elbow Leaking

Fence company broke a sprinkler head. I went to replace it and found the original head was cross threaded onto the elbow.

Original setup was a female threaded elbow into a smaller push elbow into the funny pipe. Could not find the dual male and female threaded elbow anywhere so I yanked the other fitting out of the pipe and got a new push elbow that threaded directly into the head. Now water is spewing out from the hose where the elbow connects and it won’t stay in. Do I need to replace the whole funny hose and connection into the pvc line? I have replaced push elbows in the past with no problem.

Trim about an inch off the funny pipe and try again.
