Default Valve Covers 2006 ram 1500

Hi I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7. We replaced the valve cover gaskets and now whenever the engine warms up it starts smoking and smells like burnt coolant. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you damage the heater hoses on the passenger side while handling the valve covers?
