Default Apexi WS exhaust questions

ok... i got the ws for my 2K ex and installed it. i had problems with the rear muffler flange touching the gas tank. avijiggybear suggested to stick a stock rubber hanger there. however, now the tip of my exhaust is leaning A LOT more to the right then to the left. it does not look centered at all.

my question is... what is the proper way to install an exhaust? cuz here is what i did...
1) remove stock exhaust from car, then removed cat from stock exhaust.
2) installed cat onto new B pipe and bolt down to spec 25ft/lb
3) bolt the cat with the B pipe onto header and bolt down to spec.
4) then install rear section muffler and hook onto all hangers.
5) then start to bolt down the S pipe from the B piping to the rear muffler pipe.
6) then i had my friend hold the tip of the exhaust.. while i adjust and bolt down the 4 bolts holding the S piping.
7) here is where my problem occured... bolting down the end of the S pipe to the rear muffler flange... after tighening it.. the flange is stuck on the wall of the gas tank.
8) call apexi today, and they said there should be 0.25" of clearence. but none that i could see.

all in all, spent 5 hours on a what should have been a 1 hour project. my greddy wasn't that big of a bitch to deal with... oh well. so can anyone tell me what went wrong? cuz right now i am frustrated when i look at that exhaust being off centered. please help...
here is the thread i started... but not too much inputs.
