Did they give you a printout telling you which component of the inspection you failed? If it was the visual inspection, then the parts you used aren't smog legal - but you seem to be OK there.
In California, the printout also gives you the allowable measurements for your car for CO2, O2, hydrocarbons, CO, and NOx, along with the actual readings your car produced. If you failed on hydrocarbons, your engine is running too rich. Someone else might be able to tell you what would cause failures in the other categories - I don't want to steer you down the wrong path.
Hope this helps...
