[Trying my worst]

Bare with me as I'm very newt to these cars and cars in general. I have just taken apart my intake system to clean out my spark plug well and to replace my Valve cover gaskets. When trying to reassemble the intake plenum this little metal house isn't lining up no matter how the intake plenum is positioned. I did replace the gasket but i dont believe that's the cause. If anyone has some words of wisdom on how to either adjust the house or notice something i'm doing wrong please let me know.

I actually did get it to fit and got everything all tightened up but i took a further glance and i realized i put a gasket ontop of a gasket so i had to take everything off lmao. If any one has tips on taking 35 year old gasket off let me know👌
