Cb400f oil leak

So I recently rebuilt a Cb400f with 9000ish miles and it now has about 12000. It quickly developed an oil leak from what I thought was the metal plug for the oil gallery behind the left side crank cover. So I replaced the o ring in it but it kept leaking. Turns out it’s the left side crank oil seal. I’ve replaced all the oil seals on the engine when I rebuilt it. Could it be put in wrong? It looks ok. I’m just wondering if there is any internal problem with the crank that would cause a new seal to leak.

Just making sure but was it a brand new crank seal? Also, those seals usually have one way to put them on as they have nipples/guides on them. Are you sure they got seated correctly? Pics of the oily leaked area?
