Shower tray waste outlet fixing

Bought item 10374 from BES:


formatting link
it comes with a black rubber sealing gasket (not clearly shown in the illustration).


Should this go between the upper part of the chrome fitting and the top of the shower tray


OR



below clamping between the underside and the back nut?



Currently have it on the underneath the tray, but am looking at the finish of the tray on the underside and it is rough as a'holes! Tis a stone resin jobbie.


Hope you guys can help?


Was quite a few years since I fitted mine, which was a MacAlpine shower trap. Still got the instructions, and they quite clearly show the gasket

*under* the tray.

Can't remember for sure, but I probably bedded the top onto a thin bead of Plumbers Mate. I don't like the idea of even a little moisture getting to the layering of the resin in the edges of the hole, IYSWIM.
