There must have been some reason for replacing the gasket, whatever it was.
Unless there is a particular reason for using a different gasket you ALWAYS lay the old gasket over the new one to make sure they are exactly the same. Did you do this, if not there could be a difference. If you did not replace the fluid lost during the change, that needs to be corrected.
Make sure all the pins for the electrical plugs are in the correct position, sometimes they can get pushed out when installing the plugs.
