be sure to use closed cell foam.
I would cut foam boards to below size and spray foam the edges.
I'm not sure I would use closed cell. it does have a higher insulation rating, but it is not flexible at all and if you have a leak it wont let water thru.
open cell is still r3.4/in it is flexible so wont crack in a application prone to movement, and will allow water to slowly drain if you have a leak.

If you use open cell the insulation may become saturated with water. Then when it freezes and thaws may have a right mess, including such desirable items as black mold.
