Oil filter gasket doesn't get full seal

I have a reproduction 914-6 oil tank for my 3.0L SC motor. The filter housing screw was not center when drilled. On one side I get about 70% of the gasket sealed - do you guys think this is good enough or will it leak - how much pressure it is under? Using a Mahle OC54 filter. Is there a filter with a wider gasket?

You will blow a ton of oil out. I would get it right before running her

What's cold psi for 20/50 again? I'd get a different tank. Not worth the mess or oil starvation.
