On the new bike i made a bit of an error with the hoses. I didn't put grips on until last and the levers had to move out by a few cm; now the hoses look a bit short.

The bars are free to spin 180° but the hoses stop them short just past 90°.

This wont be an issue normally but i'm sure sometimes in a crash you come up with the front wheel backwards?

Do i need a new brake and dropper hose?

Yes! sure each hose goes around the headtube and not straight to the frame.

Shorten your bars.

HTH.
