Default Loose valve cover

I just put on a set of Patriot heads and finished putting everything together. I noticed that the valve covers are loose. The bolts are tight but you can wigle them and there is oil leaking from one side. The pedestals on the bolts seam to be too long. Should I sand them down or what? Is there another solution?

The car is a 2001 LS1
