Any plate area that's not in contact with solution is not producing. Total cell immersion is hard to achieve. Back pressure from the gas will try to force the e/lyte out of the reactor and back into the reservoir. This is a common problem and there are as many ways to correct it as there are experimenters.
As far as compromising the plate sealing, I have no idea what you mean.
