Smoked headlights fitment?

I installed my smoked headlight kit that I bought from CJ Pony Parts at E-town. my question is about the fitment of these headlights. For a while now after I installed the headlights and HIDs, I did not put the gasket from the stock headlight around the new smoked ones. To save time I left it out b/c I wanted to make sure the HIDs were working properly. Long story short, I went to put them on the other day and they were soo tight that i couldn't get them on. Should they be put on? I am also concerned about the alignment of the headlights with the HIDs being so bright and the tight fitting gasket from the stock headlights.
Any ideas or experience?

I've got smoked headlights in my car, I reused the gasket/seal, yep, fit a little tighter than ithe old ones, but they did fit into the header panel.

Thanks.
So then I'll have to make it fit. How was the alignment of the headlight after the install. I have HIDs that are crazy bright, so I have to make sure that the lights line up so that I can aim them down a bit.
