Well TBH most people just butcher the pipe on the IC pipework and weld bracket for the HKS or you could do it your way by just butchering the HKS bracket.

I have an old HKS bov and that is attached with a hose and i have never had any probs.

You can buy different flanges/adaptors for the HKS SQV. The adaptor/flange you have should be used to fit the valve to a TMIC and not an FMIC.

Buy an adaptor/flange than has a striaight pipe rather than the bracket (as in your photo above) and then use a small length of silicone hose to connect the two pipes.
