Default Exhaust alignment issue

Since the car went back together from getting everything Ceramic coated the exhaust wants to wander about 1 1/2 inches to the passenger side of where it should sit. It is just enough that taking off from stand still it touches the shroud between it and the fuel tank and it is a tad annoying.

Question is: Is it possible to rotate the exhaust housing in relation to the inlet housing on the turbo and still assemble it with no dramas?

I think that they may be a degree or two out from what they were which forces the exhaust to slowly wander over as it vibrates. I can't see anything else that might have changed it. If I push it over on the rubber hangers it just wanders back. I have tried loosening the bolt near the gearbox and shoving that both ways but really cant get any movement out of it.

Am I on to something or a complete twit???
