It's tight where that bolts at but on the other side it's got a little gap. Loosened the 4 bolts for the pump but still can't get a complete seal

Unbolt the tube make sure the ring is oiled and start by trying to snap it in even or by starting on the side that has the gap.

The pickup tube is going to need adjusting at least mine did I had to take it off place the oil pump completely sealed with the pickup tube and then reinstall the pickup tube. Nonetheless I had my engine out ha
