I was facing the same issue while setting up ssh for gitlab. I already have ssh for github and i could not overwrite that. The steps that worked for me are :

1. Generate SSH with new path and add it to ssh list ssh-add /path/to/new/id_rsa.
2. Create a file named config in ~/.ssh/ using. I used vi ~/.ssh/config/.
3. Add this to the newly created file

# GitLab.com server Host gitlab.com RSAAuthentication yes IdentityFile /path/to/new/id_rsa

4. Save and quit.

After that restart the terminal and try pushing, it should work
