When you installed the new thermostat dd you clean all the crud build up aound the seal, and use a little gasket maker when putting on the new one?
Also of note, if you did not buy an OEM thermostat with gasket it most likely doesn't have the alignment nub(s) the OEM one does. The rubber post(s)/nub(s) is used for proper alignment and most after market trash doesn't have it so alignment is a royal PITA with anything other than OEM.
Pictured below is the nubs on an OEM D15B7 thermostat gasket that I need to put into my wife's car:
