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
