Quick Mill Andreja Gasket/Fit Issues

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have just started doing my own maintenance on a Quick Mill Andreja. I just replaced the group head screen and the gasket. I am now having issues with how tight to set the portafilter: it moves further to the right then previously and this seems to slow down the shot considerably. If I position the handle of the portafilter slightly to left of centre the shot is fine.
Could this be a simple case of the gasket being the wrong size?
Thanks
Tom

It can also be because the gasket is more pliable. If you can make a good seal without moving so far to the right do it, don't crush the seal you will wear it out that much sooner.

Thanks for the reply Chris. I am getting a good seal and can make it work.
