If it's leaking around the bolts, it is probably bent around the holes in the pan. This happens when folks think if a little tightening is good, a whole lot is better. Did you check the pan rails to see if they were straight?
I would never let silicone get close to a tranny of mine. Too many small passages for the stuff to get in and mess something up. I know it's a mess, but I would take it back off and make sure everything is straight. This time, don't let a gorilla tighten the bolts.  Oh, and use a new gasket too.
