Default Valve cover seal question

So where exactly do I apply silicone sealant to the valve cover (gaskets)? I just ordered a gasket set from PMC for the ridiculous price of $2.64 to cure a large oil leak.

After just doing the gaskets in my subaru I'm going to guess that I just put a bead of sealant around the plastic half moon plug that is on the rear of the cylinder head and another bead completely around the half-circle piece that mounts towards the front of the cylinder head. Anywhere else?

I used RTV on the entire gasket. No leaks. It's overkill..but I didn't want any leaks!
