Might be an issue that you reused the OEM screws. I believe the problem with OEM screws is that they can’t be torqued properly due to the drive type. the reputable aftermarket solutions use allen heads so you can better torque them down. Did you follow the torque specs on the screws during reassembly?

Also, u mention u added silicon to the gaskets and screws. For the gaskets I understand what u mean, although I’m not sure that this is recommended. However, for the screws I’m concerned as to why you added silicon. Was it added to the threads of the screws?
