Thought I would post a copy of an email I posted to Rob, in which he responded that I had done the install correctly, as I had a question about it, hope it helps anyone else here.

I just installed the new leak proof parts and had a question. I hand tightened the new part on my GGTS, and then using a needle nose plier, I made it a bit tighter. At this
point I do NOT want to over tighten, but can visibly see a tiny amount of the black delrin plastic between the original hex nut, and the new larger hex nut. I am NOT sure if the two hex nuts should end up touching each other, meaning I would NOT see any of the black plastic new sleeve, or not? Not sure if I should continue to tighten the outside hex nut anymore to make the plastic disappear, but will not go any further until I hear from you. In the photo in the one page instruction paper you included it is hard to tell,
almost looks like both hex nuts are in contact with each other, if that is TRUE?, this would require much more tightening then I have done so far, as the resistance is getting quite stiff, and therefore I STOPPED, and decided to write you.
