Please read the instruction manual on how to connect up the water pipe.
Please check if a there is a warning about using self piercing saddle
valves. Most icemaker kits come with self piercing saddle valves which
usually dont allow for a big enough water flow. (saddle valves are OK but
they usually want you to use the ones where you drill a hole in the pipe).
Read the manual and use what is recommended

I've never seen a braided hose of any kind used to feed water to a
refrigerator, only in short hookup applications under a sink or toilet.
Refrigerator feed lines are typically at least 6' long, usually a lot
longer to get to the water supply and all the braided hoses I've seen
are less than 2' long. Also lately I've seen a lot of "bogus" braided
hoses that are a plastic hose core as you would expect, but have a
plastic outer braid masquerading as a stainless braid.
