There really isn't a fix short of replacing the gasket in my view. You could contact your dealer and/or BGE and get a replacement stock gasket, but within a year or maybe two you will be left with the same predicament. I recommend a Rutland gasket. They're cheap, last for years and mailed to your home by a very nice guy, our very own @RRP. Utilize the search function as the debate of stock gasket vs Rutland has been going on since the first kamado cooker was.invented in 2,000 B.C. (give or take a couple of malenia). By that, I mean there is a ton of info on it.

I recall doing something like this and it worked for me:
