Default Newbie with a stupid question

First of all, my car got stolen about a month ago and ran into a ditch and messed it up pretty good. The accident bent the exhaust so they put all new exhaust on it, it used to have hooker headers but they were on a long backorder so they put headman headers on instead, it ran terrible adn they said the exhaust had to be broken in, i didn't believe it, it was missing a lot, come to find out it was missing on 3 cylinders. I put new plugs and wires in it, runs awesome now, except for an exhaust leak, it sounds like it is coming from between the heads and headers, i looked around and saw bolts in all the holes but one, I couldn't get a bolt in it so I was wondering if you could tell me if the hol on the headers lines up with the hole on the heads between number 6 and 8 cylinder? There is a small hole and just aft of it is a bigger hole, I couldn't get it to go in the small hole, maybe I need to try more?

Thanks guys, i didn't have to pay for the exhaust, well i did in hte long run tdue to the higher insurance rates but i didn't directly pay them. I will give that a try when it stops raining outside.
