New member-pcv valve issues

I have a 1990 f150 Xlt-lariat with the 4.9 I6 Efi in it, and recently I took off the intake and the vacuum lines to get to the injectors to clean them. After I cleaned them I replaced one of the injector's o-rings then put everything back together, replaced the throttle body intake gasket, upper plenum gasket, and egr valve gasket, and as far as I can tell I have the vacuum lines hooked back up to where they're supposed to go according to the diagram. Now I have a Pcv valve that is open at any rpm and I don't know what to do about it. I have replaced the valve and still have the issue though now the truck idles at around 600~rpm instead of around 1,000~rpm. You can hear a hissing coming from it while the truck runs too which it did not have before I first took apart the intake. I'm not really too sure on how to go about this so any kind of help would be appreciated.

it's not really the easiest to hear but the hissing is the valve being open and sucking in air through the other opening above the hose connection.
