Default Shift solenoid

Car is a 95 Accord EX, 2.2 vtec with and automatic transmission.
I just recently put in a low mileage engine and trans in(both from HMO so they are more than likely JDM), during the process I had to change out the solenoids on the transmission, shift and lockout i think they are called, due to one or both being bad, all I did was swap the ones from my factory trans onto the JDM one. There was no difference in any of these parts, direct swap.

My issue is when the car is running I have a transmission fluid leak from the lower solenoid(a bad one), I tried ordering new gasket/screen/filter whatever you call them straight from Honda(Hondapartsnow) but they kept sending the wrong ones. I have not had any luck finding them at the local parts stores or online, I am only able to find the entire solenoid with gasket/screen and at $150-250 each that is just not an option, especially since the ones I have work.
Can I just take them off, clean the mounting surfaces and apply a thin layer of Hondabond and reinstall? Or can anyone point me to a source for a replacement to these gasket/screens?

Yes and 28320-PX4-004
They don't match up with what I have.
JDM and USDM solenoids look identical

i would put small dab line of black rtv around the new gaskets sealing portion after making sure the tranny mating surface is completely clean, I would guess it's either scarred or possible distorted to the point that it's not sealing

but if it's distorted i would kinda be worried something is wrong with the tranny, let's hope not

Mating surface was clean, no scars. I am using old seals because I haven't had luck finding just the seals I tried ordering them from Honda and they sent me the wrong ones twice. I have found the correct ones but I have to purchase the solenoid to get them, I refuse to pay $300-500 for new solenoids when mine work just fine.
My original question was if I can just use the old seal and some Hondabond or something similar to try and stop the leak, it would be better if someone had a part number. Honda has sent me the same part twice and they don't match the seal that is on any of the solenoids that I have.

Those tickets are the order tickets, the baggies should have a sticker, usually red/white w/'HONDA' on it and then the part number.
Those look like 2.7 V6 AT solenoid gaskets.
If the cardstock doesn't have 'honda' on it then I suspect someone is not getting the parts from a proper Honda supplier, or there is a serious snafu in the supply chain.

Have you tried a different dealership, or Majestic Honda?

I took a picture from this side so you could see the seal, the part number that is printed on the other side of the bag is the same as the part number on this sticker showing in my picture, the other side is solid red with "Honda" printed in white. They are official Honda parts, I have ordered a few hundred dollars worth of seals and gaskets from the same place and each part has been genuine Honda in the Honda bags. For some reason though they sent me these twice, After the first set I called them and one of the first questions they asked me was "Is it a V6?" When I told him it was the 4 cylinder he told me he would send out the correct set and to return the others once I got the new ones...They sent me the exact same set of seals.
If these are V6 seals then that would make a little sense.

I have not tried another dealership or anyone else until I could verify the correct parts I need, I don't like playing the return game. I will give one of them a try and see what happens. Thank you for some insight, them sending me v6 parts never crossed my mind.
