Not OP, but I'm not a fan of the crimp style personally. My hose clamp of choice is the T-Bar style for silicone hoses, for example like this: https://www.amazon.com/HPS-Marine-St.../dp/B07PXHYBKKQuote:

I didn’t go with crimp style because I wanted it easily removable or configurable should I want to change vent or add onto it. I made a few cuts on the tubing yesterday that required additional cutting as I didn’t like the length after I had fittings to installed. If I would have used the crimp I would not be able to make those kinds of changes. If you noticed I positioned all of the clamps so that the ratcheting portion and where the band rolls is opposite from the bag. This helps protect the bag and make it a little cleaner. If you use a nut driver it should not come loose as i torqued them down tight AF. Many people make the mistake of actually using a flat head screwdriver slot on those clamps but they really need a socket or nut driver so you can crank on them pretty good. I do agree the crimps make for a much cleaner install.
