Default Intake gaskets

Hey guys. Replacing my intake gaskets with my knock sensors. During reassemble I notice the driver side gasket I can see a little bit of the blue gasket peaking out. I am afraid this will cause an intake leak. The passenger side does not show any of the blue gasket. Any suggestions?

I used felpro metal gaskets over the plastic ones when I did them on my old sierra, you could see the rubber on the gaskets when bolted down.

Thank you for your quick reply. Do you know if there is a difference in gasket for each side?

Installed and a sliver of blue is showing. Truck seems to run fine.
