I wasn't planning to redguard the whole side just a 6" to 10" strip as previously recommended.

I am open to suggestions. Its not too late to redo or switch things around.

These screws are to lock the tub in place. Its either support the tub and make a hole in the barrier or not support the tub and then just have the CBU screws holes.

The fasteners I can switch to stainless truss heads ones.

As a next step what would you suggest?
1. Switch the screws to SS. Apply a 10" redguard strip.
Or
2. Eliminate the screws. Remove the CBU. Seal the barrier holes with weathering tape.
Or
3. Eliminate the screws. Remove the CBU. Apply new 6 mil poly one the sides overlaping a few inches with the back wall's poly.
Or
4. Start over with new 6 mil poly everywhere and no screws at the flange. The CBU would still be flush or proud of the the flange.
