Any Ideas? Have a Problem with a P1273 service engine code.

Been having this issue with my A/F sensor reading lean shift on bank 1 and I have a good idea as to the problem but I was hoping for a little insight before I drop the hammer on the dealership for bad work bolting catalytic converters on my ride.
First let me tell ya what I've tested and replaced. I've replaced both A/F sensors, intake collector gaskets and spark plugs. I've tested for air leaks in intake manifold on bank 1 side and for exhaust leaks at manifold bank one side. I believe when the non Nissan dealership installed the cats they didn't properly fit them to the exhaust manifold and so that might be the problem. I have a pic of the joint but haven't figured out how to post it in this post. There is a noticeable gap, 3-4 mm, between the cat and the manifold on the bottom side of the joint.
