flex pipe has a wee belled shape at it's junction muffler has a bit of a dome shape the two are intended to meet up in a flange type seal. IMO it's a mickey mouse contrivance but when the mating pieces are either new or in decent shape it works passably.
Possibly the belled end on your flex pipe is corroded into failure.
Not sure how you would fix it reliably sans either a new part or welding the rascal, rather than bolting it together.
Not like it's a pristine part that needs saving for posterity.
Possibly the ring thing may work.. dunno? never tried that one.
