This seems to be your issue too, the flanges are not on the right angle.
Yes, the gasket compression is ok on the top and gradually becomes less towards the bottom. So the manifold face is not parallel to the head face.
The included angle needs to be measured, and then transferred to the manifold as a machined operation.

Easy enough for an engine machinist.
