Meh, push the valve through the tyre and very hand tight, pliers can fuck shit up, if that's not working something else is wrong. Air getting under the tape somewhere else would probably fill up the rim cavity and then escape around the valve. Have you tried inflating a tube in the to make sure the tape is stuck down nice and tight?
