Inside the nut there should be a gasket on the of the Flexi hose, if it's there I'd replace it, or you could put some silicone grease on it and hope for the best.
Leaking from the threads sounds like the same issue, but using PTFE on the threads would be good practice regardless, and it'll create a waste tight seal on the threads, and an interface that will inhibit corrosion.

Perhaps be mindful of overtightening that nut of its to tight the gasket will deform and leak. And just noticed you've got brass connecting to steel, if you're going to put PTFE tape on the other threads I'd do those too at the same time.

The water seems to be leaking from here. Which is strange because it wasn’t before.
In a video I watched about the replacement the guy used Teflon tape around the thread, is that 100 necessary because it wasn’t there when I took it apart.
The video shows some play which is also leaking, again wasn’t before.
