Default Fuel Pump Gasket/O-Ring

I dropped my tank on my 2000 Stratus to replace fuel pump with a used one from a junk yard. I was wondering if someone could tell me tell me how the gasket/o-ring goes on so I get a tight seal. If someone has pictures that would be helpful too. Thank you for your help.
