Delta r4707 rough-in

Hey Guys

I'm installing these taps. Someone told me that I cant mount these on the deck. The instructions call for a deck mount with thick tile installation. I sunk the mounting plates flush with the deck. "1" granite will be laid on top.
I'm ready for granite but now I'm doubting this. I'm 99% sure I'm good to go. Any help would be appreciated.

That doesn't look right to me.
Here is how I do them.

Thanks for getting back to me. There is a 2x4 running right underneath the deck. I definitely see what you mean Terry and I did scratch my head a couple of times until I read the "thick tile installation" it calls for the rough in to be mounted on the deck. Considering there is 1 inch granite going down I would consider this "thick tile". My deck is 3/4 plywood. I countersunk the plates so they are flush. I only have one chance as the redo would be expensive. Can I do this or do I have to remove some of the 2x4 and mount underneath? Thoughts?

Okay, I looked closer at the instructions.

The cardboard tubes should be used,

The the top washers go back on the finished tile.

Perfect. Thanks Terry! I'll let you know how it goes.
