What happens here

Place the new sink flange, with the plumber's putty already applied, into the sink opening from the top. Push down firmly, ensuring the words on the flange face the front. Excess plumber's putty should squeeze out from underneath the flange; this indicates a good seal. Now, from underneath the sink, install the rubber gasket, followed by the fiber gasket, and then the metal backup flange. Next, install the mounting ring, ensuring it aligns with the sink flange. Take the pre-adjusted retainer clip and carefully snap it into the groove on the sink flange. The slight gap you created earlier will make this easier. Push the retainer clip completely into the groove. Once the retainer clip is in place, tighten the three screws on the mounting ring. Turn each screw 3-4 times in an alternating pattern to ensure even pressure, continuing until the entire assembly is tight and the rubber gasket is compressed, forming a secure seal. Finally, go back up top and use a flathead screwdriver to scrape away any excess plumber's putty from around the sink flange, making it look neat and pretty.

Goal: Securely install the new sink flange and mounting assembly
