Strange, my 1/2 moons have the large end touching the copper crush washers.  2 of my 1/2 moons were smaller than the others, and I needed to bend them out a fair amount to ensure that they didn't slip under the lip on the aluminium (not chrome) flanged gaskets.

Once I made sure that the half moons weren't sliding down into the flanged gaskets I was able to get a great seal.

One note, are those the original header nuts?  The ones on my 1981 CB750K aren't closed end cap nuts, and yours appear to be closed (could be that I'm just seeing them wrong).
