Need Help With Exhaust Leak

So I have a leak between my bpipe and o2 sensor pipe. The leak is where both flanges meet. It happened when I bought all new exhaust gaskets from a Nissan dealer since the ones from Megan aren't that good. There is nothing wrong with the gasket that is there currently, I just believe that it can't fill the space between the two flanges properly since the exhaust gas is leaking through it (I'll try and get pictures of this for better explanation).

So I was wondering if anyone on here had suggestions for ways for me to fix this problem. I've heard of liquid gasket sealant stuff but don't know much about it and what kind to get, if anyone has other solutions that would help a lot.The general maxima section gave me no help so I'm posting here.

I'll get pictures today hopefully, Thanks for the help,
Mark

Use 2-3 nissan gaskets I have done it before and it works.

I figured that's what I might have to do, I was hoping there was another solution though, I hate stepping foot in my local Nissan Dealership. I always feel like I'm getting robbed.

Any other ideas from other members are still appreciated.
