Bolt the Throttle body up by torquing to spec, a few NM. Leave the intercooler end of the pipe loose but in place.
The pipe goes over the throttle body and “pops” in place when the internal, concentric, ridge slides over the throttle body groove.
A warm pipe works better than cold. Check with a mirror to be certain that you haven’t folded over an edge of the pipe. Make certain that the clamp is sufficiently loose to allow the pipe to fit over the TB.
This doesn’t take strength, it takes dexterity.
A bit of patience.
And a mirror.
