Intake Manifold Leaking Coolant after replacing

Did you change the intake as well? If so, did you remove the 2 locating pins on the front and rear rail? Those could be holding the intake manifold off the mating surface.
It was an aftermarket already and the pins were out. still was a lot of space to make up. I think it might have been the hoses.

Now I'm dealing with it not starting back up.
