How to install flow restrictor valve on ro unit

Hello I know it needs installing in on ro membrane waste line, but mine as a already installed flush kit so do I install it after the flush tap?

The restrictor is typically part of the flush kit..
Its usually the cylindrical part that says "Flow" and some number with a directional arrow on it..

Could this be my built in flow restrictor?

Well I don't know then. Still not getting 0 tds. It's had new ro membrane and Di. I've stripped the canisters down and vaselined all seals, checked for leaks. Pack as much Di in canister as possible so really don't know now.
