What happens here

here. I always just use an extra set of nuts and washers. These are self tapping screws and it's taking a bit to get through that flange. Gas kit looks like it's nice and compressed down there. Now we're going to install our wax ring. This is a standard wax ring. There's no horn. I like to push it straight down on. Give it a quarter turn.
