It's past the screw head, so tighten evenly on all 4 corners
You might try carefully coating the mating surface where the screw gasket is with some Rite Stuff gasket compound. Let it dry for 24 hrs before filling bowls
I have had issues like you describe in the past and these fixes worked for me

Right - not at the threads and didn't really see how I'd actually be able to use teflon tape either.
I was tightening in a criss-cross pattern a bit at a tie, so all bolts were being tightened evenly. Sounds like I need to order the paper gaskets and try them.
