Are all the rubber couplers on the intake loose? They need to be a little loose so you can align everything.

What Bob said. Also just start 1 bolt and work aorund and it will fall into place.

Also, Make sure that you have removed any paint from the DIS ground (Crossover Tube Brackets!), Or else you'll be posting a thread asking why your SHO does not start.

i already took the paint off the brakets

right on,I had this same issue years ago on my first SHO.
Like Robert said make sure all the couplers are loose to give the whole manifold some adjustment. start threading in bolts from the middle of the snakes,work your way out from there.
