you might not have the standard 5 bolt t3.
Could be a Mercedes one.
Can you measure the bolt holes?

you may have a fuckey *** dp flange like me. if the 5 bolt one you got was too small then chances are you have the amg/mercedes style dp flange i got mine from kteller.

So you have a wastegate housing bolted on the turbo.
That has a 3 bolt exhaust pattern.
Is it flat or raised?
What is the hole diameter and the bolt diameter?
Example 2.0" hole and 3.0" bolt pattern.

Three bolt I think is the volvo style. Measure the distances on the bolt pattern.

I went to the local exhaust shop and looked through all the 3 bolt flanges. I found one that fit mine like that. It wasn't exact but fit and sealed with a gasket.
