Here's a pic from a prior post that shows the O-ring placement.

Let's have a picture not a postage stamp. LOL
The four O-rings are shown in position.
Over tightening within reason will not cause the leakage. You will break the filter housing first and cause leakage, the O-rings are in grooves that prevent leakage from over tightening.
