Do you know how short the fittings were that didnt work? The "short" and "long" fitting lengths differ from manufacturers so it's hard to tell what those actually mean. Also, I assume inverted flare in the tee fittings/blocks? Lastly, when you say "hubs" you mean the uprights right?

First off, thanks for sharing, amazing work.

I bought all the fittings from Brakeconnect.com and I found that the BQ4511 was too short but the BQ4511LT fit great not sure what the exact lengths were, all the tee fittings and joiners are inverted flare M10x1, the tee blocks I bought from ebay.

2x Brakequip BQ44
2x Brakequip BQ91A
Then I noticed the post above talking about the length of the M10 nuts so it sounds like I'd want to order:
12x Brakequip BQ4511LT 3/16 M10x1.0 long bubble flare tube nuts
4x Brakequip BQ9180 3/16 M12x1.0 bubble flare tube nuts
3x Doorman 785-439D Bubble Flare 3/16 M10x1.0 unions
I ordered my 3DM harness yesterday so I'm trying to gather everything without making a ton of orders.

You also don't need bubble flare unions, inverted flare unions are probably easier to use and matches the rest of the Mazda fittings.
Stock setup also only has one rear brake line which feeds both rear brakes so you need to add an additional line from the ABS unit to the rear of the car,
I used the factory line to feed the LH caliper and ran a new line to the RH side.
