I had the same problem so what I did is I drained my tank to below the bulkhead took it completely off cleaned the glass where it makes contact.
Make sure the gaskets are on the opposite side of the glass to the nut that you can tighten.
Rinse and make sure no debris is on the gaskets and silicone grease is not good for gaskets only O rings.
make sure every surface of contact to the bulk head and the bulkhead pieces are rinsed and dry and check for salt or other stuff on the gaskets.
Don’t put sealant on bulk head gaskets the rubber will crack over time.
