Default Screamin eagle heavy breather

Just had heavy breather installed and saw the ugly black servo showing. I purchased a HD servo cover. The kit comes with 2 gaskets. 1 for each side of servo cover. There is already a newer gasket stuck to the throttle body. Am I supposed to double up the gaskets on the servo side of cover or just use 2 gaskets total..instructions aren't very clear on this. I went with my gut and just used the existing gasket and a new one on front of cover. Just want make sure I did it right..any help appreciated
