Default Leaking Valves

I am trying to replace the shut off valves for the kitchen faucet. I
am using the compression type valve that connects to a copper stub
pipe. This has a thin copper or brass ring that fits over the stub.
It keeps dripping. I have tightened it to the point that the ring has
broken.
Any advice or tips on the proper techniques for this type of fitting?

Thanks
