The solution is to use two or even three gaskets where the muffler section connects to the resonator section. I believe using more than three gaskets is not recommended. This will push the shorter side out to match the length of the other side.

I must also add that I used the Fast Intentions 2.5-inch, 3-bolt metal gaskets (Fast Intentions). I am hopeful you have access to those, as I'm not sure if it is proper to use two or three gaskets of some other type or to mix types of gaskets. Perhaps someone else can add some insight.
I am going to reach out to FI for some of the 3-bolt metal gaskets. I think that may work. As for not being totally centered I pulled hard on one side and pushed on the other side to try and get it to line up close to each other and its not too bad. Trying to get it perfect because after this long wait it should be. Thanks for the input, don't look like to many people are DIY out there.

Default Professional Quality FI recording

After I get my CBE installed I'll make a high quality audio/video of the system. I'm a professional recording engineer and have some very good microphones and recording gear. That along with our HD cameras I should be able to put a really accurate sound on a YouTube video. With the current wait it will be after the first of the year before I can do this. December is crazy for me with all of the concerts that will be going on anyway.

Off topic but the Zoom H4n is hard to beat for the money.

https://www.zoom-na.com/products/fie...handy-recorder

These sell for under $200.
