The first thing to do is to retorque the manifold bolts carefully working
from the center out to both ends. If that doesn't get it check to see if
there is an obstruction that is not allowing the manifold to seat.
(Actually you should maybe do that first.) If the gaskets are are new I'd
be surprised if they were defective or had been damaged by the short
period the engine was run.
