Have you tried using longer bolts on the turbo side to lease have it connected to the turbo. Then after you have everything lined up tighten them down as far as they'll go leave one in and replace it with the proper size tighten that down then do the other.
It really is the hardest part of doing these turbo Replacements on these trucks. I got two cut up tools to do 200tdi versions.
Final option is to do what im about to on my truck if I can't get this to stop leaking oil. I'll run a an oil drian adapter and make a custom hose with an adapters.
Something like this:

I feel your pain , I hate this job.
Loosen everything up ,use longer bolts and tighten it only when in place
Edit : forgot ! Last time I did this job the downpipe was removed from the truck . Hence why I could reach the lower oil connection with the cut stubby
