If you get the flange to the proper height, do not use 2 wax rings or a thick one. The extra wax is not necessary and it will increase the possibility of failure of the wax ring. Also, do not use the wax ring with the plastic horn. Do us stainless steel screws to anchor everything down. Stainless steel is stronger than brass and will not corrode or rust like regular steel. Yes, they do cost more, but this is not the place to save pennies. Skip a latte if money is a problem. ;)
Curious, why not use a wax ring with a plastic horn?

horn

They cause a restriction and encourage splashing, either of which can cause leak problems. Wax rings with horns cause more problems than they cure.
