Changed Throttle Body to an accufab and now coolant leaking from bottom of tb 2 egr


I recently put a new accufab 70mm throttle body and egr on my 93 and love it but now i have a little issue. After driving I have a little bit of coolant leaking from the bottom of the throttle body to egr plate right along the line where they connect. I used new gaskets that came with it and lined em up like they were supposed to be. My question is if you over tighten the bolts (which i have been known to do) can the gasket go bad. ie sqeeze to tight and not seal properly. If so can i get a new gasket anywhere or do i have to call accufab. If i clean it off and the car sits no leak but after driving its there again so only when the car is running is it leaking. Ive been meaning to get a tourque wrench because to me its not tight untill you cant turn it no more. i know i know bad bad bad
