Default IMCO powerflow riser hoses leaking. HELP

So I purchased used exhaust for my formula, two of the risers have some offset but I was still able to connect the rubber hoses. I also bought really nice stainless T clamps from CP performance. Theres only 6-7 inches between the thru-hull tips and the exhaust riser and they are leaking. Hose length is 10 inches. I purchased flex hose too but I'm afraid that will also leak due to the offset . What is my best approach? Silicone? New risers? Flex seal? Lol. Ant input appreciated. Trying to get the big girl finished for the chicago air and water show this weekend.

How much offset?? I would try the soft wall hose and double clamp at both ends.

I wish I would have seen those T clamps at CP. They have all sizes and are used on the same as the ones that are used on Merc mechanical trim indicators. They are less than half the price of the Merc part.

about an inch. I got new 4 inch hose that was identical to the hose on the stock risers thinking it would work. Would silicone hose work?
