Linc, The bolt with the "T" on the head is the long one and it goes where you have said. All the other bolts are the same length so you may have had something get into the hole that's giving you trouble - old gasket from cleaning the block surface is usually the culprit. A head gasket should only be torqued once but you can get away with what you have done if the surfaces are extremely flat and you've used a good quality gasket like an ACL etc. Oil on the gasket is not good, time will tell if you continue with it.
