I've attached a photo of my slotted waste. I just want to check I've got the order, and orientation correct: The basin itself would be between the black plastic 'washer?' and the soft, conical rubber seal. Is this what you would expect? The problem is, I am getting a leak from the overflow...

We have just dug out our basement, with a split level where one area is 600mm above the other. We plan to put a glass balustrade up to partition the two areas apart. The 2 concrete slabs have been laid, and now the cavity membrane is on, but how will they pour the screed? Do I need to do some...
