Exhaust manifold problem

I have a 300-6 i changed out the exhaust pipe donut, and now i can't seem to get it re-seated properly. Any tips? I've tried to snug up the nuts and keep working it up but it stoped and now the bolts are really snug. I tried heating it up and snugging more that did nothing...

Any tips would be appreciated.

You probably need to loosen the rest of the exhaust system at least back to the muffler. It's always best to start at the front and work back.
