I would first say to check the harness. If it was fine before, and now it's not, maybe you didn't get it plugged in good. And if you used a new gasket, check for continuity. Could be a faulty new gasket.

Slim.

However, the chances you bumped the metal retaining clip for the solenoid connector is far greater.
It's happened to me once so I am more careful when installing the valve cover nowadays...
