There is a left and right side to centerbolt valve covers and heads. Aftermarket valve cover manufactures often miss these things during their R&D. The difference is slight.

I lined up and adhesed the Felpro blue "stretchy" (neoprene) gaskets to the valve covers and cranked them down using ARP hex head bolts. Be careful not to tighten them so much that you crack the covers or the head.

Thats a good looking engine you have.
