If it's soft metal, just re-do the flare, but be careful not to work harden the material?

Sometimes I amaze myself how stupid I can be.
I received a lot of good advise suggesting that I had a flare adapter
in an o-ring fitting on my condenser. I was convinced enough to go try
and pull the adapter out of the fitting.
Well, when I pulled back the threaded barrel that screws into the
female flare fitting guess what I saw. It is a straight flare. I'm
now guessing (as Larry Finch suggested) that the shoulder on the flare
was created when the AN fitting was tightened down on it.
So now I'm trying to figure out my next move beyond replacing the AN
connector. Can the flare be reworked to remove the shoulder?
