Default Vtec solenoid trouble

Hello just replaced both gaskets on my 96 jdm gsr. Everything was going fine until I was tightening the bolts on the side of the solenoid. Snapped a bolt. Managed to get it out and ordered a whole set of for the side and top of solenoid.

Got everything tightened to spec and reconnected the sensor or whatever it's called that's connected to the solenoid. Turned car on and noticed it felt like the Rpms were lagging. Drove the car for a little and noticed that it just isn't as responsive anymore. It lags whenever I step on or let go of throttle. I'm not sure if vtec even engages anymore Noticed a leak from around the solenoid down to the tranny but can't find the source. I've looked all over solenoid and it's clean. Leak was not there before I replaced the gasket.. Took everything off and triple checked to see if I messed up but I can't find anything. Any ideas?
