Your covers' flanges might be bent.
Take em off and set them on a flat surface to make sure the sealing surface is flat.
You might have to use a hammer to straighten out the mating surface of the valve covers, especially around the bolt area.
And more importantly, don't overtightened the bolts or the mating surface will become distorted/warped again.
