Default gasket under throttle body plate?

i am putting on a new throttle body plate and i decided to get a new gasket for under the plate, but the thing is i am having a hell of a time trying to make it fit right has anybody had this problem with aftermarket throttle body cover plates not fitting flush on the gasket under them?
