Again, the part you have circled in your photo is not the seal we are referring to. The piece you have circled is a plastic friction nut that keeps the needle valve from vibrating closed/open after you set it.
That needle pocket is definitely full of crud. So, you did not get the plastic friction nut in the carb kit, that is OK, is does not need to be replaced. Did you get the little clear plastic needle seal? Have you found the original one, is it in place? I know, pretty tough to see down inside there. You don’t want to have two seals jammed inside there.
