New water seals are cracked

I'm letting the RTV "cure" a little while I assemble other parts. I think they're good but opinions are appreciated

I put one on either side of the middle iron,that way they aren't facing each other.

IDK, the RTV repair may work just fine, but if it were me, I'd take the hit on my build schedule and have Atkins replace them as they said they would. Maybe if you ask nicely, they'll forward ship you the replacement parts without making you wait for them to receive the defectives back. Since you can document the damage via an emailed photo to them, they might be willing to accept that as proof enough of the defective part while you agree to ship those back ASAP. That way you can save some time on the shipping end.
