I did finally get it. In comparing both axles (old and new) the point at which the small boot clamp was located is 1" farther outboard of the inner CV joint on the new axle. There is a groove in the axle itself that is for the clamp location. This made it extremely hard to get started on the companion flange. I busted that small clamp off, slid the whole boot inboard and it slipped right over the companion flange. Still tough as the diameter of the new boot is smaller, however it went over and "popped" into the groove on the companion flange. After that i repositioned the small boot end back over the grove in the axle and re-clamped. Defiantly a PITA but its on, clamped correctly and does not appear to have any undue strain.
Was hoping it would go a little easier, which is why I got new axles to begin with.
Thanks
