As long as everything is nice and tight the gasket wouldn't be the issue. I would check your sensors again and make sure everything is where they should be and check to make sure everything is nice and snug under your car.
The flashing SES light usually indicates a cylinder misfire but that seems very unlikely in this situation. It doesn't even make any sense.
