What happens here

The final step is to reinstall the decorative faceplate over the valve assembly. Align the faceplate and secure it in place using the screws that were previously removed. Once the faceplate is firmly attached, apply a continuous bead of caulk around its perimeter where it meets the shower wall. The video recommends using DAP Kwik Seal adhesive caulk, highlighting its 100% waterproof seal, mold and mildew resistance, easy water cleanup, and low odor. Smooth the caulk with a wet finger or a caulking tool for a clean, professional-looking finish.

Goal: Finish the installation by reattaching the trim and sealing the edges for a clean, waterproof look.

What they say

Don't go crazy with this. Now you wanna open the valves. You wanna just the anti-scaled feature and test it. Make sure you've got water running. The plate on, screw it down in place. Grab some coke. I like DAP quick seal for this. Make it look pretty and you're good to go.
