Did you place an x axis along the final path so that the incoming paths are symmetric about the axis? (That decreases the amount of algebra.) Did you assign symbols for the mass, the initial speed,
and angle? Did you find the x components of the initial and final momenta? Did you set the sum of the x components before equal to the x component after?
