How can I fix my Leaky inlet pipe to toilet bowl?

I have a low level toilet and the plastic washer around the inlet pipe from tank is leaking when flushing. I was advised to pull back the washer and seal it with plumbers mate. Which I durely did and left for a few hours/overnight to harden.
That was several weeks ago, the plumbers mate is still soft and it still leaks. Help what do I do now?

Hi

Try to change and make sure to get the right washer and i hope that can solve the problem. Plumber mate will not work on that kind of place.
