I used a lot of loose fit washers at the muffler attach bracket with all the pipe connections loose and jiggled the mufflers into place and tightened the bolts.
(The oversized holes in the washers allow you to push the washer stack to one side or the other to provide some alignment freedom)

Then I went around the pipe clamps and tightened them while pulling the muffler to preload it so that when things move a bit with heat they would not drift too far in the wrong direction.

Its a bit of trial and error really in loosening adjusting and re-tightening.
