I bought an Eshopps Eclipse L overflow and I can not get this thing to stop leaking.

At first it was leaking from all bulkheads. I tried multiple levels of tightness on the bulkhead nuts. I ended up buying all new bulkheads for the rear box and that stopped the leaks coming from the bottom.
Now the problem I cant figure out is how to stop the small drips coming from the big bulkheads that connect the two boxes. It is basically impossible to get to the side inside the slim box because they are installed and the oveflow is built around it. So Replacing them is out of the question without cutting up the box. Again i tried adjusting the tightness of the nuts from snug, to hand tight, to as tight as i could go. still drips between the two boxes down the back of the tank. I also took it apart and tried putting a little bit of 100% silicone plumbers grease on the seals that i could get to. Still has a small but constant drip.
I am about out of ideas on how to seal this thing up without taking a tube of silicone to the bulkhead holes...
If anyone has and ideas I am all ears. I have already cut my plumbing up 3x to try and stop this thing from dripping so I can move my fish and corals into the new tank.
My tank is drilled for this overflow and if i cant get it to work then basically wasted the $100 for this overflow and have a useless tank with holes in it
