use teflon tape on the thread. if you are talking about the part against the glass you can silicone it but it usually never leaks

the flat rubber disk with the hole in the middle
put it on the outside of the tank with the bulkhead holding it firm

The gasket goes on the wet side, or the side with the water. I used silicone on my bulkheads, none of them leak.
I put some on the thread side, that way when I tighten it it smushes out, I have put it on both sides before, it works either way. I guess you don't really have to use any silicone, I did it just because I'm paranoid about leaks.
Mine have never leaked either, and I've never put silicon on any of them
I collect PEs, and I'm always looking to trade for ones I don't have yet.
