Exhaust Manifolds will not fit

I'm installing exhaust manifolds on my 1939 Packard Six and they are not fitting properly. My problem is the two outside studs and nuts will not fit. The four inside studs, washers, and nuts fit great; however, there is no room to fit the nuts (let alone the washers) to the outside studs. I took out the three bolts that hold the two manifolds together to get more play; still not enough room to attach the nuts. Also, there is nothing to clamp the manifold down on the two outside studs.
