Does anyone have a picture from the top view of the stove in a real picture? I would like to see if the 6" exhaust outlet from the top down. I need to have a visual if possible for a connection I would like to fix. I really appreciate any help you guys can give me on this. I had a nightmare install happen and I had the installer come back out only to throw a bracket on the pipe.... Long story short, I'm not dealing with him anymore regardless if I paid him and I'm going to fix it myself. Just need a little assistance. Thanks. What I'm trying to figure out is.... You can see how this pipe goes INSIDE the outlet of the stove... Is there another "colar" that is on the inside of this?? Just curious. Thanks.

There is an "inverse" flue collar (for lack of a better adjective)
on all the Regency inserts. Your best bet to correct this is to pull
the liner up enough to clear the top of the insert, remove the
"flex-to-rigid" adapter & install a stainless steel 15° adapter.

Another way to get a look at this is to take the baffles out. Then take a mirror or stick your head in the stove to see the flue. This will give you an idea of how well you are connected.
Thanks for the replies guys. I am pretty sure I figured out the issue... They used a 45 when in fact it is too steep of a turn... This is binding making the end of the 45 that sticks in the stove crooked.... I twisted the 45 a few different ways as it is a swivel and got it to sit much better... only issue now is I have a small hole from the self tapping screw now 3 inches to the left of where a bracket should screw into.... Can I just heat tape over this hole? I may go get a few 22.5 to make my bend a little easier... It just sucks when you pay someone to do something and end up fixing it after the fact.

That looks perfect. I don't understand why the installer didn't do this in the first place. Are you sure the liner is in deep enough so when you drive those screws in you grab the liner behind the flue connector?
As far as goop, use Rutland Stove Cement.
I really feel better for you now that you have done this.

No, the liner is not going to be grabbed by those screws... The liner is connected to the top of the 45 by the liner to stove pipe connector.... This should work right? There is too steep a bend for the liner to go all the way down. I will grab some rutland stove pipe cement... Is that the stuff in the picture you posted of your connection?

If your saying to use the flue goo, would you suggest pulling the pipe out and applying it to the 45, then sticking it back in? or just cake it on like i have it now? Thanks.
