If the plastic fitting has an area that is larger near the tip (where you slide the hose on) this is refered to as a barb. They usually have one side that is sharp, a bit like a tooth, so that the hose catches on it when you're trying to pull it off. If this is the case, then the clamp needs to be up further so the clamp itself restricts the tubing from being pulled over the barb, or expanded area, of the fitting. If the fitting is just smooth then you are relying on friction only, which is increased by the force the clamp exerts.

You aren't worried about the carpet? Isn't that expensive water damage?

Nah if you look at the pic of my basement 80-90% of the water made its way down there, since my basement is unfinished there isn't a ceiling down there, i got lucky..... Maybe 15 or so gallons soaked into my carpet/living room, but i pulled up as much carpet as i could and stuck little fans everywhere under it, seems to be damn near dry!
There's also no smell of fish water or mildew, that dehumidifier did wonders plus i just did a wc before the leak so the water was really clean.

Cut a slit into the carpet just to be sure were all dry, let a couple fans air it out for a couple days, everything is finally dry and the couch sits right on the slit lol
