Most likely you have too much tubing above the clamp. The base of the adapter should have a shoulder that is the same height as how much tubing should be sticking out. You are flaring with the adapter first and then the 45 degree taper after, right?
P.S. make sure your cuts are perfectly square. Use a sharp tubing cutter.
