I would remove the foam gasket- use either a foam gasket or butyl tape (dom dom)- not both. The butyl will make the seal- any silicone is purely cosmetic. You will need to use several layers of butyl, enough that it squeezes out the entire perimeter- be aware that the top and bottom will protrude more than they are in the pictures, because the center will be held out by the butyl.
The interior framing you add needs to be contoured to the wall to give a stable base- the contour will be subtle, but otherwise you will be trying to flatten the sidewall to follow the window.
