I put the gasket on the engine side but as Hodge said I don't think it would matter.
I would think you would need a socket rather than a ring spanner.

Yeah socket with extension from memory. You will not have enough room for a spanner, otherwise you'll be there forever doing 1/100th of a turn at a time.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Lots has happened and didn't get a chance to work on my EGR idea to get clean air in instead and avoid the errors altogether.
Been running the car with EGR blocked. Basically TL;DR is that blocking is the only decent solution. There isn't a solution around this.
This is due to the fact that a lot of air is pushed out of the EGR valve. I removed the EGR system completely and made a T-junction to route the cooling now that the EGR cooling tube thing is taken out. So my initial plan to just loop the EGR valve into the air filter system before the intercooler wouldn't work.
Usually the air pushed out of the EGR is met with pressures from the exhaust system and cancel itself out. But one thing that I noticed is the EGR is open quite often to the point of stupidity. When put putting around the block, you could hear the EGR valve open often and every time it did, a km would've been taken away from the engine. Even if you made a chamber that can expand and contract, it would be too complex and too many parts that could go wrong.
Get a OBD-II diagnostics unit like scanguage and keep it handy. Also if you are up for it, take the EGR system out completely. Soo much more room to work on the intake side of the car. I can change the fuel filter without killing myself.
Also my engine is noticeably better. It feels more alive and no more black smog.

I haven't done my fuel filter yet. Was looking at it yesterday and it looked like a bastard to do!
