I'm having the same problem! I tried putting a ring cut out of some kind of gasket material(not rubber)on each side of the metal gasket. That only made if harder to put on the flange, didn't help the air leak though . Anyone have any luck?

With stock head pipes the gasket can get crushed enough to not seal. Get a new set.
