Default C7 Stingray LG headers install... HELP!!!

I removed the stock headers, mid pipes and x pipe, went to slide the LG super pro 1 7/8” headers in and could NOT get them to fit for the life of me. Tried dropping the cradle but couldn’t get it to move much. The cradle was the only thing in the way, steering shaft was not in the way (may be after dropping the cradle but it looked okay). I’m needing to know how to drop the cradle on my car (what specific bolts and other parts come off as well) and what all goes along with it if you guys can help. We had to throw the stock headers and mid pipes back on (just so I could drive home to put it in my garage) since it was getting late and we couldn’t figure it out. (He’s a mechanic at an Alfa Romeo dealership and we used the lifts at his work) Had LG’s on my c6 with minimal issues. Some LG’s are hit or miss apparently I’ve heard but I bought this set from a buddy of mine who had them on his stingray so fitment should be fine. Who all has installed LG’s on their car and what did you have to do/remove to make them fit? Any info/tips would greatly be appreciated. It’s on a 2015 M7 stingray btw

This guy had to disconnect the oil lines, remove the starter, disconnect some wiring, and trim/file some stuff for the passenger side (at about 12:30).
