You are just using one large gasket aren't you? There should be no gasket in the center where the hollow double ended nut goes. Make sure that the plate is flat.
Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks.
But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

When I was pre-lubing my 318 on the stand, I found out the plate was leaking. I took it off, and tried the hammer trick. Still leaked. Tried a different plate - and it was fine. 2 weeks of driving, and that plate leaked. I got a brand new one from the dealer, and that solved the problem. My conclusion is to replace with a new one every time. Ran

i had the same problems as the 2 posters just above. the plate leaked. tried a new gasket. it leaked (A LOT).
I put the right angle adapter on instead and it worked like a charm. my plate looked flat, looked great. couldnt explain why I dumped quarts of oil....

That`s why I suggested to get a new plate because once they get bent it is hard to get them to seal again.

When I put mine on with the fat Felpro gasket there was a small gap in the middle between the plate and the block. So with no gasket in the middle tightening the fitting pulled the plate to the block which puts a nice clamping force on the outside of plate.
