Default Failed smog: high HC

So i failed my smog test. Here are the results

15 mph: HC MAX 90 MEAS 99 CO MAX .54 MEAS .16 NO) MAX 711 meas 209 FAIL

25 mph: HC MAX 54 MEAS 56 CO MAX .53 MEAS .06 NO MAX 754 meas 76 PASS


The car is a 94 gsr bone stock except possibly CTR cam gears, not sure though. I just changed the spark plugs, could the gap possibly be wrong? I did not hear any knock.

Also, I just put the stock header on and I forgot the donut gasket on it. The exhaust is not loud at all and i do not smell anything funny. Could this have caused me to fail?
