I'm not sure what round gasket you are talking about, or even what car you
have. Assuming it's a TR6, then I would suggest a light coat of paste PTFE
pipe sealer on the tapered threads of the sender. No gasket is required.

There, I like to coat both sides of the gasket with Hylomar. No need for
anything between the thermostat itself & the housing; as a small leak here
will not hurt anything.
Neither one is really required; but IMO they reduce the chances of a leak
and ease future disassembly.
