What fills the gap between the base of the inlet manifold and the top of the block, valley area?

Reason being a gasket here may not allow the manifold to seat well against the heads. A bead of silicon works best.

Does the inlet manifold EXACTLY match the cylinder head angles?

The sealant type and application technique is poor quality.
