they should be lined up with the notches at the top of the rocker cover there.... you've probably used the same location as the x16xe? if so then that ok just looked miles out...

It's a stainless 4-2-1 manifold, no maniolfd+downpipe.
You could have a flange cut for the 16XE and then cut the flange of the 20XE manifold and weld on the enw flange, but thew spacing it's right so would take a fair amoutn of force to make it work and may crack welds.
A Janspeed one is ok, does the job anyways.
