Looks like you got a one-off. Head could be slightly warped or it wasn't torqued down correctly. I'd put it back to the dealer for a further check of the head and if that's ok then try another new gasket.

The mechanic should have also used new O-rings on the cylinder dowels before installing the new gasket, this will ensure proper alignment of the head gasket.

Ride on !
