leak with prosport oil filter relocation

Installed the prosport oil filter relocation kit today. Went to fire the car up and i have a leak on top of where the old filter used to be. The RB plate is in first and then this. I have had the Rb in for awhile with just a filter and no issues now i added this and a leak around the whole o ring seal. The o ring looks good no cuts or tears. If i get this fixed im worried about the filter side next.

Has any one else had this issue with a relocation kit?

No problems with mine. You might check and make sure that the center piece that the filter screws to is itself fully seated in the blue adapter part.

I used the universal one from summit racing and it has been great, just haven't found where to mount oil filter. This one uses a different filter as well which is bigger with more filter surface area and holds more oil.

The rb is down tight. It's deffiently between the rb and the prosport.

Can I crank the car over without the uim on and see if it leaks this time around? That would help tearing it apart so many times

You're stacking two? A pic would help, though I have no experience with that arrangement.
