Just about to fit these fitting in my loop, once I opened them I noticed as in the picture a thick rubber gasket so to speak and its seems to go in the lock collar but in the vids RJ posted he isn't using them?

(the thick ring above the two o rings)

not 100% sure how hardline fittings work but im sure they require a good seal like compression fittings do so a O Ring is a must? Unless the O-Ring is already in the fitting on the bottom half where it connects the tubing, in which case I think the O Ring in the lock collar is more there for stability and keeping it in place.

I do knoq is needs an o ring im just wondering why it has a gasket that isn't used (as far as I can see) in the videos

These fitting also come with silver plated brass bases is it safe to use these with premixed fluid, also what are the metals you cant mix in the water cooling loop?

No one worked with these before?

I though (maybe wrong) that you got 2 g 1/4 for the block/res side and then 2 larger o-rings for the bard side and the lock collar you glue on is optional.

i dont know if you are supposed to use both the lock collar and the larger o-ring together, i would think not but that's what it looks like to me
