Exactly which clamp are you referring to? I believe there is an issue with a locating pin on the up Y-pipe. If not aligned, you will not get it on. Is that the one? I've not had mine off but seem to recall this problem from others.

I completely read that one wrong I thought you were still trying to get it off.
Tenn and guzzle are dead on, that pin must be in the alignment hole and the turbo being loose helps alot.

Before you installed the turbo in the pedestal, did you slide the clamp back and over the up pipe collector, and hang it out of the way, not to inhibit the install of the turbo? That was easiest for me, becuase once you align the dowel pin in the hole, you can pull the clamp forward and its right where it should be.
