The guy at the pool store is correct with the placement of the gaskets. The only place you need teflon and silicone is on the fitting where it screws into the threads of the return assembly. Do not put any silicone on the gaskets as it will make them squeeze out of place when you tighten the jam nut on the return against the wall. Do not put any silicone on the threads of the jam nut itself either. Hope this helps.
