flex pipe install trouble

hi all - i got the old flex pipe off ok...adn the clamps were rusty toast. The new pipe (starla? from eEuroparts) seems a little short, but can be ok. Its ends are not, however going far into the flanges in the existing system. The new clamps are not 'formed' to fit these joints. I'm not sure what to clamp around. The new pip barely sits in the old pipes. And it's wider at the 'clamp point'. The channel of the clamp fits nicely around the thicker part of the new pip, but then i don't think it will clamp around the old pipes at all.
anyone run into this issue? I do need to pick up sealer...right now the thing sounds like a Harley even with the new pipe "in place".
