You shouldn't try to just poke the probe under the ring clamp, if the surface isn't smooth where the hose seals then it never will, hose clamp or none!

Cut and shut a piece of pipe (only need be ~3") into the top hose and tap a thread for your temp probe into that. Make sure to leave at least 1" (preferrably more) for the hose to bite onto and consider belling the end of the pipe section (like OEM water fittings) to ensure a secure join.

If your stock temp sender (for dash guage) has an output signal compatible with your switch you could splice in and use that for your signal.
