Default Valve cover gaskets replacement on a 2003 S type 3.0 6 cylinder

I’ve replaced the valve gaskets on my 2003 S type 3.0 6 cylinder jaguar, but I didn’t put gasket sealant on them will that be a problem

The only area that requires any sealant is the area at the front of both cylinder heads where they join with the timing case cover. Sealant SHOULD NOT be applied to the gaskets or spark plug boss seals.
