They can be a pain. get some thin wooden dowels to put into the head if you really need to use as a guide. I used a small screwdriver to align the VC, gasket, and head to get the bolt down in there.

You're not holding your tongue in the correct position.

Clean the area the gasket sits in really well. Use a small amount of RTV to hold the gaskets in place on the smaller sides of the valve covers, and the tabs of the gaskets to hold the long sides (if your gaskets have them). Use a small screw driver to line the holes up and bolt them up.
