Return it to the waterpump there should be a port there.
This. Some pumps have one port some have 2
You'll need either a 5/8 or 3/4 (Depending on hose size) brass or stainless hose barb with I believe 1/2 inch pipe threads.

I ran into this on my daughter’s truck. Ended up coming out of the water pumps top plug and the intake on the passenger side. Maybe it’s not right but it works.
