Changed the belt and tensioner now I have a vacuum leak CEL

I changed the serpentine belt and tensioner in my 04 R50 per Bentleys instructions and put everything together (no parts left over ) now Im getting gas cap warning and CEL minor vacuum leak issues. I would suppose its from the valve in the evap system that has to get disconnected but, Ive reconnected all the hoses and the electrical connection and still keep getting the error. What am I missing

Check to make sure you have the purge valve lines hooked up. If they are then you need to make sure you didn't put the purge valve on upside down. (I've seen dealer techs do this multiple times)

The electrical connector on the purge valve should be at the bottom.
