Need more details. Is this a wet or a dry sump car? Usually a diagram is included from mms. I’m assuming this is the c7 wild kit.

According to the directions you have it backwards. You need to Connect PCV valve exit on catch can to intake manifold (top).You can relocate the valley plate port (lower) to where the driver valve cover connected previously, or cap off. If this goes to the dry sump, you should remove the assembly from the valve for free flow in both directions. You can also instead Tee this line straight from the rear ‘sidekick’ oil tank to the rear line of the main oil tank. These are right from the directions.
