Dull, flat flavour with V60 and 1Zpresso SP6

Breville Dual Boiler 920 little flow through group head

Oh man that shot looks beautiful ... So I just finished changing the gaskets, and I'm afraid I made one or two mistakes Namely, if I don't pull on the lever hard and fast no water comes into the piston, and I can see water coming back to the boiler I know I screwed quite tight; do
