Did you use the two L-shaped spacer/alignment bars they give you when you tightened it up? Those keep it centered in the clamp and it looks like yours is offset.

I did the first time and it made no noticable difference for the leak issue. I did not use them when I stuck it back on to take those pictures (was just getting it on to take pictures).

I feel your pain too. Have the same issue. But I am pretty sure mine is due to clocking of the exhaust housing. Problem occured after I installed a rebuilt 26/8. My fault for not making sure everything lined up when doing the install.
