If the bolts are the original slotted ones they may actually be to short with the new gaskets as they are thicker than the originals especially the white plastic ones
I ran into that as well and found that the hex head bolts are just a bit longer allowing better bite into the threads and holding better as well
This also allowed me to retorque in place with dual fours which was difficult with slotted screws
