I take it you came here to look for a tutorial video because you can't get your hands on Schluter or Hydroban like myself because of supply chain issues. Lol
The foam is waterproof and the caulk seals it all together. That's the theory, anyway. It makes sense, but I'm just doing my first installation so time will tell how well it lasts. The hot-tar system in the shower I just removed lasted for almost 40 years. It might have doubled that except that the drain fitting rusted away and water got below the tar layer.
What notch size on the trowel when you put down the thinset? Looks like 1/2 x 1/2, but it moves fast and I'm not sure.

A 24 hr leak test is required by NTCA to insure water tight integrity. Most states require this as well.
I always use red guard in the pan and 5 feet up the walls just for extra protection, call backs for leaks have never been an issue for me.
