740 turbo '92-oil seals issues

Changed front cam, crankshaft and intermediate oil seals as well as timing cover gasket (of which there was no residue from the old one!). Fired it up, it started on 2nd try and ran good (except for the oil leaking from the bottom of the new timing belt cover!). Took it all apart, assuming that gasket failed (as I realized I had not allowed much time for the gasket sealant to dry properly), to find that the plate between the crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft sprocket had slipped (during reassembly perhaps?). This caused the tab on the sprocket to indent and distort said plate, as well as somewhat distorting the tab itself. Also, some oil had collected under where crankshaft & intermediate seals are. Question #1: Did I do something wrong when I installed the two lower seals (do they need to be pushed in further?). Question #2: Is there any way I should even consider trying to use the abovementioned parts, or do I have to get new pulley/ plate/etc. (and-if so-what did I do to mess them up?)? Thanks for your time.
