When I did my box gaskets, I put the intake pushrods in the exhaust position and vise/versa. Silver rods are for intake and black are for exhaust. (It can be tough to see the color difference.) If you did that, it can't make any compression. Pull the plugs out and crank it over. If you can hold your thumb over the plug hole while cranking, that is the likely issue. Move the plug wire ends away from your hands before cranking!

You said Rocker Box Covers, did you replace the whole Rocker box or just the covers?
If you changed the entire Rocker Box then there is certainly a lot more that could be wrong...
I know when I did my 95" the Rocker box gasket install was a little confusing and you had to make sure you didn't install the gaskets the wrong way....
