Every in tank pump module I’ve dealt with has worm gear clamps. All of the plumbing is interference fit, so it’s just a bit of redundancy. I don’t have the FiTech pump but instead the tanks inc gpa 4 module. I’ve got a gpa 2 in my wife’s Chevelle, very similar design.
At any rate I would be blaming the clamp here since it’s clear the outlet port separated from the pump body itself.

Jason, what kind of tubing/hose did your pa4 use? Was it a flexible hose? This tubing was fairly rigid, like nylon, and might have snapped when putting the pump in. The directions required using a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the hose before pushing it on, and the clamping it.
I might substitute some more flexible submersible hose.

Appears you got thicker wall hose or more appropriately sized clamps with it too.

FiTech definitely needs to include a piece of flexible submersible hose instead. Time to take it out for a night drive in 65 degree weather.

Test drive complete - never felt faster. If it wasn't so late, I'd go out and let it fully self-learn the WOT tune.
 But alas, a menace to society I shall not be. Too many 55+ parks near my house. Despite some of the local animosity felt toward the "Snowbirds", I kinda dig those peeps as long as I am not stuck behind them doing 10 mph under the speed limit. Let them sleep.

Thankfully most are leaving from here heading back to the snow I guess.  Congrats on the tuning up.

Yay! My replacement pump has finally shipped!
 I am still rolling solid on my $18 pump, and will until it fails. FiTech pump will stay around as a "just in case" spare.
