Help! Whirlpool Dishwasher Quiet Partner IV

I just replaced my dishwasher (model #: GU2475XTVY1) door gasket with a new one (#W10542314) and now the door will not close at all. I took the new gasket off and tried to close the door and the latch works but when I reinsert the gasket tightly the door does not shut. I would appreciate any tricks or help with this issue!! Thanks in advance!
