Locktite isn't a glue, its a thread adheisive might be better using some type of weather strip glue or something like duco. My .02

If you don't plan on taking the trim rings off often (no reason to), then I would use Loctite.
Since the screws are small, I would use Blue (removable) Loctite on them.

Use blue on most things, but am not opposed to red on big bolts. A little heat will help to remove stubborn ones, a soldering gun for blue and small screws or a pencil torch for the big stuff. The right wrench constant pressure and a little heat will work wonders
