Forgot durring rebuild.

I just recently rebuilt my engine, long story short I forgot to liquid gasket the bottom corners of the short block...

I already torqued down the engine bolts, can I reuse the plate seals? or am I SOL?

Probably depends on what you used. Vasaline will swell the seals and you may not be able to use them again. If you used hylomar you might be able to.
