This cover is large and floppy. Before you seal it back together, put it on without any gaskets and tighten the stove bolts. Then use a feeler gauge to find any big gaps and mark their location so that you can straighten it out.
I use 3M weatherstrip cement to attach the gaskets to the cover, and nothing on the block.
