Valley Pan Gasket Does Not Line Up

I had this problem as well.
I believe the Rave says to fit the end clamps, then put the intake on, then tighten the end clamps.
I followed that the first time and it went well, intake and all, and it fit fine. Then I realized I forgot to put the rubber end seals in.
With the end seals in, the intake holes would not line up. In the process of "fitting", I destroyed the gasket. Got a new one and this time I carefully torqued the end clamps before fitting the intake. A couple of the intake bolts still felt impeded by gasket, but I was able to get them all in without stripping anything.
I feel for ya. This was the worst part of the whole process for me.

I will say that I've never done this job before.... as far as land rovers go, I'm only a keyboard headgasket guy so far. ;-)
