Default Cub Cadet 1450 Rear Differential Leak

Hello everyone, I'm the new owner of a Cub Cadet 1450 and recently replaced the seal for the rear differential with the correct seal from Cub Cadet and refilled with Hytran. I've noticed a small leak when it sits overnight coming directly from the very bottom of rear cover. I put the seal on dry with no gasket sealer or without putting any Hytran on the gasket. I cleaned up the surface of both the cover and rear differential with brake fluid and a scraper prior to installing the new gasket.

Do I need to remove the cover and refill with new Hytran or is there any other trick I can try first? I've torqued the bolts pretty tight already so not sure I can tighten them anymore, is it possible I've overtightened them? Also I assume the gasket will still be ok to reuse?

Thanks.
