Intake/exhaust manifold nut trouble

I'm very sorry if my reply offended you in any way, it was not at all my intention to to attack or question your experience. All I can say is in my case, I was not able to slide an extension between the two manifolds because of both the choke housing and the intake/exhaust connection getting in the way by blocking a straight path to the nut. (I should've mentioned this connection before, my mistake) I've made an illustration to hopefully better explain what was happening to me:

Keep in mind it is NOT anywhere near scale, the main point is to show how the housing and intake/exhaust connection were blocking the extension to a certain angle. And yes, of course I have tried using more extensions and just coming from further back parallel to the connection, but as I said before, this just didn't work out for me. Again, sorry if any offense was taken and I appreciate your time helping.

That's just odd. I've never needed anything more than straight extensions and regular sockets to get the deed done on a slant.
