Default Fuel odor shortly after pump install

So like 2-3 months ago I installed a walbro 255 pump in my 99. Lately when I drive it, I smell a fuel scent that grows as I drive. I see no leaks under the car or near the fuel rail, it smells like it's in the seat area. Think maybe the gasket on the pump plate that had the Phillips screws in it didn't seat right? Any suggestions/ tips to fix?

Triple check all the connections.... Probably left something a little loose. <G>
