Tranny Coolant lines

I got my motor rebuilt from a reputable builder about 10,000 miles ago. The two lines that run between the transmission and the cooler were placed against a tall bolt that sticks up from the edge of the oil pan. The chaffeing that ensued has broken the line and it's undriveable as it pours out any amount of fluid I add.
Is this something that happened during the reinstallation of the motor last year? or could the lines shifted? Is the builder at fault?

anyways, more importantly...has anyone replaced these before? I plan on ordering the line from GM to get the correct length, because i don't trust my measureing skills. Is this a pretty straight forward job given i have the tool to bend the line correctly?

i ran the car for about 100 miles on a trip before i realized the tranny was leaking alot, is there anything i should be looking for in the tranny to make sure it wasn't damaged?

thanks in advance
