I changed my fuel filter yesterday and when I removed the old filter a plasting ring and a rubber o-ring detached from the fuel line plug.

I tried to put them back in the plug it's not sealing correctly (gas is pissing everywhere when the fuel pump is on.

What to do now? Is it possible to change the plug?

The "steel line" is actually one end of the fuel filter.

The problem is that the o-rings and the spacers came out of the plastic fitting that plugs in the filter.
 
I see! If it doesn't go back then the coupler with the fuel line needs replacing. OR you can try to used the proper sized fuel injection rubber hose and fuel injection hose clamps. Then replace the coupler with the hose and clamps. Just make sure the hose and the clamps are rated for fuel injection.
