header image slider code help

I have the 20/11 theme (newest one) and I want to add a responsive slider to the header, so with research I downloaded WP Nivo slider and Header Image Slider plugins for my WP install.
I did all the admin panel configurations for the slider in the Nivo slider settings/options then I went to Appearance/header and check the radio button for “slider” then hit settings, from there its a box that pops up telling you to use the boom_header_image() since the “auto insert” feature does not work for this theme. From there all hell broke loose lol.

I placed ” boom_header_image()” tag nested in php in the “branding” div section of header.php (i’ll show code below). And now I see the slider but the search box is nested in the slider image when you scroll through the images (not good), and the primary (default) navigation is pushed all the way down with a large broken img link above it. I just want the slider to replace the static header images that were there before with the same dimensions and have the navigation right under the slider as the original theme looked before I added/made these changes. Please help me I know I must need to comment more code out but I don’t know which to comment/remove. Also, the slider is NOT responsive when I scale the browser down and up, any tips?

To see what it looks like now jacked up visit museum

code looks like this now w/ boom_header_image tag included

<header id="branding" role="banner">
    			<?php boom_header_image() //added for nivo slider in header 8/14 ?>

				<h2 id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>
			</hgroup>

			<?php
				// Check to see if the header image has been removed
				$header_image = get_header_image();
				if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) :

				<?php
					// The header image
