It's not one of those stupid situations where you have an apparently symmetrical item that in reality isn't quite and you try it all 4 ways that it could fit (combining back to front, upside down maybe even inside out!) and (like putting on a duvet cover) it's the fifth orientation that works?
 I'm not a D3 owner but the way it's connected at the inlet doesn't look right, or maybe that's just the camera angle?

The hot/boiling water was just an unlikely suggestion, but never thought of homer's suggestion, but care would need to be taken with that one.

Update to this issue. I did some unrelated work to the car the required the airbox to come out. After reassembly, the duct somehow fit as it should have! It was out of the car for two months. Maybe somehow it reverted to the original shape? It's like magic! 😂
