Rear Main Seal Offset or Not and rtv usage

After 4 tries on a small block, I cut the wings off and clocked the rear main seal. Finally, no more leaky rear main. Did the same on my Hemi, with a little anaerobic silicone on the mating ends. Have not run the Hemi yet, so I don't know. Just saying, if you develop a leak from the common practice, sometimes you have to try something else. Not saying to do what I did , the other way for whatever reason, just didn't work for me.
