Water – Shower Curb Penetrations

glassshowerwaterproofing

The person who installed my frameless shower glass mounted two brackets directly into the shower curb. There is some silicone visible around the brackets… I'm not sure if silicone was used in the screw holes.

The curb is made of quartz composite and the waterproofing underneath is hot mop.

The glass was over a year ago, and I haven't seen signs of moisture damage yet, but it does concern me. Is this a big problem?

Thanks.

Edit: Here is a photo of one of the brackets

There doesn't seem to be anything out of place there. The shower curb is there to keep water from exiting the shower. The silicone is used so that water doesn't go under the bracket. There isn't much the silicone is doing as waterproofing, although it is keeping the bracket from being damaged and maybe a tiny bit of water in. There is nothing that concerns me in that photo.
