Tighten both bolts evenly in progressive stages. Do not tighten one bolt max then tighten the other bolt max. Tighten them alternately and in evenly steps to max torque.This could have been the original problem that caused one bolt to be looser than the other.
Be sure you have a correct gasket - one that can withstand oil.
What do the pump and accessory drive mating surfaces look like? Are they parallel?
Be sure the threads on the bolts and the accessory drive are not a.....screwed up. While you have the pump off be sure the bolts twist in far enough and easy to secure the pump. Maybe the loose bolt cross threaded bit?
