Default Upside down brake booster

I know, I know, stupid. When I replaced my brake booster I accidentally put it in upside down. It didn't seem like an issue at the time I just rerouted the vacuum hose and everything bolted in just fine. Well now I have a pretty good vacuum leak going on. I can hear it and feel it in the brake pedal. Does having the brake booster upside cause this?

Another thing I think might be the problem is when I put the master cylinder on the booster I only put on 1 bushing but now I have 2 left over. Was I supposed to put those on also?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It shouldn't be caused by the booster being flipped as this is also done for tucking engine bays. What bushings?

They're seals. I meant to say seals. They look like rubber washers on the master cylinder shaft.
