CV Fab Intercooler & charge pipes installation question

[Dhouse]

So I installed the CV Fab intercooler this weekend (what a pain). I am now working on the charge pipes. On the hot side, I had a really hard time getting the bolt back into the block. I wouldn't line up, the pipe seemed too long. I had to loosen the intercooler bolt to let it move forward so I could get the bolt in.

Once I got the bolt in, the pipe at the intercooler went into the rubber boot at a slight angle, not straight on. Is this normal, or do I have something jacked up?
