Default Black tank to dump valve coupling

My dump valve pipe slides into my black tank extension and is secured with a hose clamp. Over time it works loose. No fun. So I ordered a 3 inch flexible coupling that has 2 hose clamps thinking, since it’s rubber, it would fit over the black tank extension. It fits the valve side fine but won’t fit the tank side because it’s slightly larger. The valve extension fits snugly into the tank side which is the slightly larger diameter. I’m not sure what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks

I found out that the way to couple the valve and tank is to put polyurethane sealer on the valve pipe and use a hose clamp at the tank flange.
