Default Double checking valve stem seal install

Hey guys,

Just wondering if this looks correctly installed. All 16 seals have this small gap as seen in the mirror. They had resistance when pushing them on but other than that no clicking feel just kinda firmly slid into place. These are supertech seals.

The trick with these is to use a 11mm deep socket. It fits nicely against the lip/edge of socket and tap it lightly with a small hammer

as long as the gap is even on all sides and is there any way to try and rotate and push down on it? what type of assembly lube are you using? because thats a lot of lube
