One trick is to use a few dabs of that "make a gasket" stuff to position the gasket in the right place so it doesn't slide around when you bolt things up.
I went through like 5 different gaskets on my header/up-pipe junction, I know how much it can suck. My problem was a mis-aligned up-pipe flange, which Vishnu was nice enough to fix by sending me a new flex up-pipe.
