replaced rear dif. fluid now it leaks

so on the camaro i decided to replace the rear differential fluid today. did everything to get it changed...unbolted the cover, drained fluid, scraped the remaining parts of the old gasket off..replaced a new gasket, bolted back on, put fluid in. drove it around, and now it leaks, looks like from the bottom right part of the case. i double checked to make sure every bolt was tightened and it was.

idk where i could have went wrong besides the fact that maybe it was a dumb mistake and i put the bolt in and the hole in the gasket wasnt lined up correctly, or maybe its just a crap gasket in general. ive been reading up on it and it says if its overfilled it may leak. im not sure, anybody else ever encounter this issue? thanks

Jon
