Default 2021 Chevy Silverado 5.3 exhaust leak from the band clamp near the cat and flex pipe

Hello,how would I go about fixing this issue,the band clamp on the joint inbetween the flex pipe and cat seems to be leaking especially from where the bolt goes in and clamps down around the pipe. It seems to be pinching the pipe causing the leak. And I can smell it in the cab when I start it in the morning…

Wow, in such a new vehicle. Don't suppose you are still in warranty?

Yeah,unfortunately I have no warranty,but I did manage to reshape to a point where it mostly seals up good now.
