I know you don't want to hear it but it looks like your only option is to pull the water heater. Find some gasket material to make a new seal from or order a new one based on the water heater info before you start removing screws.
My advice is once you have the water heater out figure out if you can make an access point to get back into the check valve in the future. My 5th wheel is 12 years old and I have replaced 2 of them already. The new check valves don't last like the old ones did.
Also, on mine there is a rubber insert/gasket on the check valve. I had to move that from the old to the new to get a seal when reinstalling. It's not included on the new one. You may or may not have that.
