There isn't a gasket behind the plastic cup.
In fact the rear of the plastic cup is designed to go into the hole first, and the cup sort of clips in at the rear of the hole before the 2 bolts are used to secure it firmly. There is no room for a gasket.
well not on mine anyway.
I have the square type handle
