Question about oil filter sandwich

I got one of them oil filter sandwich for my EJ22 and for some reason its leaking from the oil filter... im just wondering what other type of filter can I use that has a bigger o-ring, because I think the o-ring that is on the filter now is to small for the sandwich so theres no good contact. im going to check again to make sure its not from anything else.

its a piece tht goes in them iddle of the block and the oil filter that you can add on oil pressure, oil temp, oil cooler lines into it.

also I found out that its not the filter that its leaking from its the bolts that are on the sandwich... I never teflon tape it s its leaking from the 4 bolts haha... im oing to tape it tomorrow since im off. btw talking about filters seems that the NAPA gold is a good filter to use, is it better then Fram?
