Default more header install problems

allright so they header is in and the bolts are tightened up but now i can see that the mid pipe is 4 or 5 inches back from where it should be, i tried jacking it up but that didn't move it towards the front of the car at all. How do i get the header to line up with the mid pipe? disconnect the midpipe at the other end?
