Usually the clamps rotate because the donuts (gaskets) are shot.

The clanging is due to the exhaust doughnuts being shot and those clamps are vibrating because they are bad. I would recommend placing copper doughnuts in it and call it good. It's a bit of work but sounds like you've had it apart already.
