The driver side header is the same as the set I had the issues with. Your first picture shows the "point" at the rearward "y" joint sticks out too much. That point hits the frame. It would require some good hammer blows to gain the necessary clearance. If the headers weren't coated, it may not be a huge problem, but the coating would most likely be compromised after some persuasion. That is the reason I returned the set I had that looked like your pictures and had my old set coated.Finally received a pic of the headers I asked about. I think these still have the issue you encountered. Where does this"knot" that sticks out hit?
