Hello!
I have a problem installing the stopper (water plug) in the sink.
The sink is fully installed. I have a coarse strainer for the sink, which I can insert and remove easily. That works fine.
Now, the water should stay in the sink. For this, there is a stopper from Lillviken.
This stopper should be attached to the strainer. To do this, I unscrew the stainless steel closure from the strainer and screw the magnetic part from the stopper onto it. This mounts the stopper slightly raised on the strainer.
When I do this, the stopper sits too high to seal properly.
What am I doing wrong?

the strainer has a seal at the bottom. If you press the strainer firmly downwards, the drain should already be closed, and the cap only needs to cover the strainer basket.
