I'm fitting windows with expanding foam tape and I'm wondering how I use the packers and foam tape. Packers usually stick out the front and then get cut off when finished, but then the tape wouldn't seal. Should I put some packers in with sealant at the same thickness of the cavity closer, and then push some in from the inside to make up the space when screwing?

I don't know whether there's a standard way to do this? I was also wondering whether I should push the tape in after putting the window in place or sticking it on before putting it in the opening?
