I bought a radiator on ebay for a manual trans not auto but the transmission lines go infront of the radiator and only appear to be mounted on the bottom not connected is there any way to still use old parts or what ever its connected to on the back?

The transmission lines go to the transmission cooler which is a separate unit that sits in front of the radiator. A 1993 E34 body style 525 does not distinguish between manual and automatic radiators due to this, so I was wondering what you expected. If the mounting is what you are asking about, the speed clips need to be used from the old radiator to give the mounting screws a place to screw into.
