Default LG Super Pro 1-7/8 Headers install help

Hey I've been really struggling with getting these headers installed and wondered if anyone here had any helpful insight on getting them in.

So far I just can't get the right angel or something here's where I'm at:

Lifted to max height on quick jack
Subframe lowered to edge of studs
Engine lifted as high as o can get it
Valve covers, starter motor, alternate, and steering rack, bell housing inspection cover all removed.

And with all that I'm still not getting the clearance needed even with a ton of fiddling.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I bought the truck adapter set for my Quick Jack to get the height I needed...
