Im dealing with an oil leak where the converter plate seals to the block, any reason I cant make up a good thicker cork gasket . I've read all the posts about poor quality thin plates , but I'm going to try this Fred
 
IF, you buy (or already have) the earlier version replacement filter cartridge,
a better gasket comes in the box with it.
 
If I go back to original canister , ..the parts I saved the part that gets fitted to the block is just a thin sheet metal piece then the nut and canister what do they use for gaset to the block on original ,,, I dont remember
 
The Ford schematic does not show a gasket between the block and the plate.

On a cartridge style FYB oil filter, the diaphragm goes against the block filer boss (no glass) and the gasket between the cartridge canister and diaphragm plate.

The gasket (6838) is the same for either application. You have to find a QUALITY GASKET and not CHINESIUM.
 
Sometimes the adapter plate is dished in too much where the threaded
adapter goes through. When you have it off you may need to
reshape the adapter plate so it holds tight enough against the block.
Just an idea.
