If the gasket is sliding out at the back of the lower (exhaust) cover, it may be that you did not get rid off all the oil. What happens in mine is that, when the old cover is removed, some oil fills up the lower bolt hole at the back. So when the bolt is installed withe the new cover, the oil gets pushed out and coats your nice clean surface so the gasket will not adhere well.

So I put the lower bolt in first to force out any oil in the hole, then remove it, re-clean the surface and then install the gasket. Much more reliable.

Hope this helps.
