Default Exhaust Issues

Hi everyone! So I replaced the clutch and flywheel on my stang not to long ago. When I went to put the exhaust back on afterward one of the studs on the drivers side exhaust pipe that goes into the headers twists with the nut. It's the one on the top so it's not even that easy to get to as it is. Obviously its causing an exhaust leak lol. Are there any ideas that can fix this issue? I'm not familiar with how that bolt on part works or I might have an idea of how to fix it, but i figured one of you guys would have a better idea anyway. Thanks in advance guys!

Have you tried installing the nut with an impact gun? The hammer/ratchet action vs. twisting motion by hand with a ratchet might do it. If it works, just do it in short blasts so you don't overtighten it or break the stud. Done that before, sucks.
