Don't let it dry before assembling. The gasket is not required, but since you have it do this.
This assumes the engine is still installed in the car.
1. Put a small amount of of sealer on the pan surface.
2. Put the baffle on top of the sealer.
3. Put another small amount of sealer on the baffle.
4. Put the gasket down.
5. Put another small amount of sealer on top the the gasket.
6. Install pan bolts according to spec.
7. Wipe off excess sealer before it drys.
If the engine is on a stand, place the bottom up and do in this order.
1. Put small amount of sealer on bottom of the engine.
2. Put the gasket down.
3. Put small amount of sealer on bottom of the gasket.
4. Put the baffle down.
5. Put small amount of sealer on bottom of the baffle.
6. Put pan down.
7. Install pan bolts according to spec.
8. Wipe off excess sealer before it drys.

Here is what I installed a few years back, yes with gaskets.
The bolts I used were like the stock FB oil pan bolts but they had threads all the way to the end. I somehow found enough of them in my 6mm x 1.00 bucket of bolts. So if you have a bunch of oil pan bolts to sift through, look for the ones that have threads all the way to the end. They will still grip as much of the engine's threaded holes as the stock ones do, if using gaskets on each side. Of course your mileage may vary. My advice is to test fit a bunch of different lengths and see what fits best for you. Because, you know, that's what I had to do.

Measure the depth of the bolt hole and also the thickness of the baffle and number of gaskets. If you wish to use any washers, their thickness also needs to be considered. I bought a few allen head stainless bolts from Fastnal and ACE Hardware and gave them a try to find the best length.
You could also go the stud route. Here are some the Banzai sells for this oil pan brace that might work.
