The three blots that go through the manifold, and hold the crossover
flanges;
Have three springs, that allow the engine to move, on the semi-rounded
exhaust gaskets, mad if pressed tin and carbon.
The flanges move around the outer part of the rounded gaskets, and the
springs keep just the right amount of tension, so the gaskets don't
compress.
I've seen butcher jobs, where they used washers to take up most of the
slack, and the exhaust was just lose enough to allow a capillary action,
and
pull in air and lean out the sensors.
I hope this helps.

PS
Carolinas auto parts, usually has a special on the springs, bolts and
nuts.
I used to stock 12 at a time, but now none left..

you never know, you might get lucky and get a doc that throws the
right part!
New bolts, check. New spring, what spring? I really don't recall
seeing one (or more) on the exhaust anywhere (maybe that is the
problem)
