It's fine but you have used the wrong colour of tape , other than that it is spot on. The red right next to the fixing hole sets the job off , well done.

Is this within the regs? I can't get the thread of the gland through the box to get the banjo inside. I wanted to use the swa but if not will rely on one of the cores.

look..:
if you are not going to gland off and secure an SWA correctly then dont even start the job in the first place....will you..

and posting images of that old tosh in here is just asking for it really....isn`t it..

get it dismantled and done rite...

Personally I think the question asked would be the same as a chippy on a forum asking how to "hang a door" not a specialized one at that lol
