I would not use the coax-seal on the snap-n-seal connectors as they
definitely don't need it and there is some small possibility you will
trap water between the coax-seal and the snap-n-seal. Probably wouldn't
hurt either way but why bother.
I think you will be fine with the setup you have. I think many cable
installers use the crimp on connectors and they do it without the
cable-seal. Of course, your TV periodically quits working because of
that, but with the coax-seal, that should solve the problem. After all,
you only need that on the connections that are outside the house.
