You do not "lube" the gasket with anything. If it is a flat paper gasket, you can use any shelac type sealer, but you don't have to as these will usually swell with contact with coolant and seal. If it is the kind that is a rubber ring around the thermostat itself, these require no sealant as pressure alone seal the housing to the motor.

The spring end of the thermostat goes into the engine. If you have the rubber ring gasket, the rubber ring has a slice on the inside of the gasket. Fit the rubber gasket around the outside of the thermostat before you set the thermostat in place. Be sure the thermostat and gasket are in place with the spring end facing the engine and install the thermostat housing, done.
