Take one of the bolts, slide it through one of the easy holes to get started by hand, slide the gasket on the bolt so it holds it together, and start the bolt. Once you have one started, its easier to pivot the header and gasket together to start a 2nd bolt to really get it lined up. Get all bolts started first then tighten them down so you know all bolts are in straight and lined up.

For my headers, which are BBK shorties, I have to take the long bolt out of my passenger side motor mount to rock the engine one way to actually get the header in place, then rock it the other way to get the other side in place. Not sure about what headers you have if you have to do the same thing or not.
