I'm no expert but I think silicone will not stick to silicone.
I would have used a Dap Kwik Seal Kitchen and Bath Adhesive Caulk which I buy from Ace Hardware but others certainly have it.
The trick for good caulking for amateurs is to put painters tape on either side of the gap, smooth the caulk with a wet finger and remove the tape while the caulk is still wet. It may take another smoothing to get ride of the tape edge.
I think there is a silicone removing solvent but I don't know, off-hand, what it is. But it ALL has to be removed or the Dap won't stick either.
Good luck.
2x on the painters tape. Works great..... Instead of wetting the finger, I use plastic storage wrap on the finger. Afterwards I pull the tape off and run the finger over again to smooth out the edges.
