Question on gasket replacement

I have large egg and replaced gasket tonight along with adding new larger handle. I attempted to adjust hood to the tightest fit possible but still notice that when performing dollar test slides easy only in couple of places. Is there other methods to adjust lid for tighter fit. I adjusted the bands and then tighten then bolts to where they have slight bend. Gasket was not stretched and went on easy. Haven't lit egg due to time for gaskets to set up.
Wasn't sure if adjustments can be made to spring to make even tighter or how to achieve snug fit with dollar test all the way around
