Umm..... What?

The convertor bolts are quite short. (less than half an inch below the head) If you used a standard bolt I'll bet you punctured the converter and it is junk now. If you pull the bolts and there are holes in the converter cover don't expect sealer to save it. It is ruined. Hopefully it's just a converter seal. You can't hang the converter on the seal while installing the snout into the pump.
