Take it all down and do it again with a new timing cover gasket.

Invest in a quality torque wrench.
Well to be fair the torque wrench I was using wasn’t really working properly even though I had it set on 6nm. I hand tightened everything else snugly and the other side as well. No issues or leaks anywhere except here. Are you sure I would need a new gasket? I mean it looks exactly the same as the old one that came out lol. The only difference is the blue sealant that squeezes out the top when you tighten it, but I could just use some light dreibond there instead this time around.
