Table View Header autoresize issues

Question

I have a tableview in my view controller that is set to autoresize in the xibs and works fine on both potrait and landscape orientation. However when I added a custom header view through code it doesnt align properly with other cells, my header has the custom cell which is displayed on table as its subview. I have tried many autoresizingmask properties but I just cant get it right. Any help will be appreciated. Below are the images in lanscape and potrait orientation and my viewcontroller.m code

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()
{
    NSMutableArray *tempArray;
}
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    tempArray=[NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"Jack",@"Rose",@"Juliet", nil];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}

I was able to solve this issue by defining the frame size at the time of setting layoutsubviews in my tableviewcell class

- (void) layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

        CGRect contentViewFrame = self.contentView.frame;
        CGPoint viewCenter= self.contentView.center;
        contentViewFrame.size.width = self.frame.size.width;
        self.contentView.frame = contentViewFrame;
        self.contentView.center=viewCenter;


}
