Unless the black plastic banjo fitting is cracked, all you should have to do is tighten the HSN housing (brass hex piece). Loosen the HSN up first so it doesn't travel down too far and become damaged when tightening up the housing.

RE: loose HSN
Its a good idea to seal up all around it as well. I put Loctite 518 on both sides of both washers (i use the 518 for sealing everything on the engines... its an anaerobic gasket maker, and works great). Of course, you can use regular silicone gasket sealer/maker as well.
