PT: Sealing off isolation valve

Hi,
The isolation valve feeding my toilet cistern was leaking. After considerable effort, I was able to lift up the cistern to put an O-ring washer around the top of the inner circle referred to with an arrow in the attached image. Unfortunately, when I let the water through, there was a burst leak. Should I use a flat-ring washer instead? If so how can I get the right size?Should I put the ring at the top or push it down?
A friend suggested using also a jointing compound along with a PTFE tape; If a washer is enough, I won't buy these products

Thank you.
