Kinda hard to see from the pics, but if that 5th bolt can still sit flush against the flange, then you can use a Dremel tool with a small cut-off wheel and cut a slot on the flange. Then all you'd have to do is start the bolt onto the turbine housing first and then hook the DP flange onto the bolt, install the other 4 bolts and tighten.

I am onlly running 4 out of 5 bolts on mine and it is fine. I am missing the same one you are. the way the DP was made there is no way i could fit it on there. No leaks or anything.

I am using studs on all 4 but if I put one in there it would hit the DP.
