Making my first spawn jar and lids

Hi guys
I ordered these 3 things. Plastic lid, filter and injection port. I have some RTV silicone gasket as well. Should I just put a line around the injection port and pop it in? Do I need to seal it from the inside as well?
For the filter, i'm thinking just to make a circle around the filter and gently tap it on the lid.
Also, do i need a rubber gasket ring for the inside of the lid as well or is that not necessary?
I'm gonna sand down the area around the holes so it's easier to stick.

What's the injection port for? Shooting some spores in there? 
I would personally drill one hole and stuff tight with poly or carry on with your filter. Then inoculate via agar g2g or lc.

Haha right! Yeah, my long term plan is actually to inoculate with agar so it might not even be necessary with the ports. But just in case I decide otherwise, some tips would be very much appreciated.
I'm mostly concerned about the need for a rubber gasket ring inside the lid? Is that recommended?

I made my lids when I first started, I used a screwdriver and a hammer to poke a hole in the lid then put a couple pieces of mp tape over it, no issues, haven’t even had to change the tape yet.
gasket is not necessary

i make my lids with a 1/4" drill bit and 1" round SFD which i attach with automotive RTV gasket maker. it might be 3/8" actually, i cant remember and havent made one for a while lol
you dont need the injection port if you dont plan to use spore syringe or liquid culture. i made a whole bunch with the injection ports but im making mine now just with the filter hole because im mostly using agar.
