Default Up-pipe mod clearance issue... help!

Fitting a md321t+ to my 2.5 forged build and when fitting the up pipe found that it was way off. So i cut the pipe and extended it then used the up-pipe bracket to see where the pipe should sit then found that the turbo would hit the engine casing gearbox side. So im now trying to figure out how to weld the pipe in a way so i clear the casing and water/oil pipes. But im not sure how much clearance i will have with the down pipe once fitted whether it will touch the body of the car or not. Which you will see what im on about when i add the pics. My question is how much clearance is there for the downpipe(de-cat) to move upwards to the body aswell as side to side as i dont have the car at hand to test this myself. Also any other sugestion would be great as my brain is no longer functioning

I also took pictures of the up-pipe sitting on the bracket and everything clears no problem. Thats why i want to know whether it will cause issues with the downpipe once fitted or anything else.

Also have pics with the pipe sitting where it should be with the up-pipe below the bracket but then you can see how off the joint is and how the turbo hits the casing.
