Hmmmm, sounds like you have 2 driver's side headers. Seriously, if it's the pass. side, you might want to do a couple things before trying to install the header. Drill out the mounting flange bolt holes so that you have a little wiggle room. Tap out all of the header-bolt threads in the heads, especially the last one (or is it the second to last one?) on that side since the stock exhaust manifolds didn't use it and it's probably got some crud in it. This should help get the headers bolted up.
