just over Hand tight, not torquing hard

Originally i had valve stems with rigs for inserting the TPS's and had thought the extra weight was causing excessive movement causing the gaskets to rip but i have sense switched to the pictured valve stem and the issue continued.
OK, I got it. So, are you installing the tires too? I am only asking because most tire shops would install the valve stems for you, and would take responsibility for tearing the gasket. And if they did, would replace them for you at no cost.
