Mine wouldn't either. So, I bought the 3/16" thick gaskets and they now clear.

I had that problem we just ground the corner on the rocker and took a little of the inside of the valve cover.
Also using a thick black gasket cant remember what brand gasket it is. |

Mine didnt fit with the thick gaskets, hence the need for the spacers..

No problem with stock covers and fat gaskets here on 2 different engines w full roller rockers. Yours must be short
