Exhaust hangers

Thanks to advice here on the forum, I refitted my exhaust to the manifold, and no leaks for a month or so, but leaking again! I think my problem is that the exhaust has to be sort of 'bent' up to the manifold... I think the hangers are incorectly set... So, question is WHERE should the two hangers be situated? Plus should the exhaust be able to 'move' a little? At the moment it is almost wedged against the bottom of the car and doesn't move / vibrate.
Cheers.

Back hanger front edge of boot floor well.
Front hanger forward edge of slope up to diff.
There should be clearance under the crossmember, if not use longer hangers

It should be held firmly - but able to move with the engine. Locations as above..........and it shouldn't rattle against the body or the rear damper arm - or the back axle.......

Right - who ever hung it before hung it at the back, which is seemingly correct, and then UNDER the passenger seat bolts... quite tight up against one of the cross members! I don't thin there is a rear hanger location presently on the car... ie in front of the rear wheel arch... I'll have to rig something for now.
