Not all riser kits will fit all trays, so if you need to raise your shower tray, make sure the riser kit is compatible with it: some legs hammer into holes, some screw into female threads on the underside of the tray – it varies by manufacturer.

Use your sealant gun to force the sealant into the joint so that it’s fully filled and then dampen your finger and run it over the surface to both smooth it off and force it fully into the gap.
