2nd picture is with the sender removed. There is 6 bolts that hold it in place. The holes that they screw into is a blind hole. If the longer bolts broke through the blind hole. What you can do is use some rtv on the threads of the bolts to seal up the hole. Also wipe off the o-ring. Apply a thin coating of grease on it. The grease will let it slide into position easier. Making a better seal there.
Thanks!!! This was exactly the response I was looking for. Yes, it was the blind holes that were screwed through essentially.

I think I got so caught up in who would have swapped the screws to longer ones and why they did; instead of thinking through how to solve it.
