Default New exhaust - hanger not tight at all

Hi chaps, I can't seem to add new stuff to my bike without needing help of some kind from this forum, so here goes again.

I've been swapping the standard can today for my new sexy black Beowulf. I've got the hard part over with (cutting the pipe), got it all lined up nicely, but when i've come to fit the hanger which came with the new can, theres a huge gap and it's not tight at all. What am i doing wrong?

You have installed it incorrectly. Both the ends of the band should be together.

What I mean is both ends of the band should be side by side and at the rear of the hanger.
