Guessing cutting it all out and using rubber couplers is my only option unless someone out there has a better idea. We're currently snow birding in the rig for the winter which makes it a tougher job.
If I cut it all out and it doesn't go as plan the rig becomes unlivable till I figure out a plan B.
If you were to install Valterra valves, I would recommend taking the RV to a service center. Let them own the problem. The tolerances for the Valterra valve to fit properly have to be spot on.
All this assumes that you want to be able to replace a valve by yourself in the future. Below is my black valve. To the left is the "Y", and on the other side of the "Y" is the gray valve.
I keep spare valves. They are easy enough to change out, but I would not want to be the one to do the initial assembly to make the "Y" line up perfectly between the valves.
