The O-ring should stick out a little fatter than the shaft to seal, maybe you got the wrong o-ring on the distributor?

You can use a compression fitting to attach a new flared section of line with a bend to match up to where the filter is. Make sure the line section is clean bare metal and paint over the fitting and l...

FIPG is what Toyota calls it and it does come in a few colors, gray is the more common one I see on oil sealing applications, it's nearly identical to permatex gray.
