Default EGR question

Ok so had my motor rebuilt after some problems and now i have an exhaust leak from where my egr pipe connects to the header. The original clamp that holds it on was destroyed so i reordered the part and cant find a way to put it back on there is no room what so ever so i have a normal hose clamp holding it on. The thing drives me crazy cause i can hear the leak while driving. Its an 86 BTW My questions is should i just cap it off of does anyone know of a way to put that one time use clamp back on and could it be effecting my performance leaking like that

If the original clamp "fit" how does the OEM replacement clamp not fit; how does it differ from the original??
