basket strain repair?

More info

i replaced the basket strainer and the locknut is plastic. i tightened down as much as i could by hand but the way the strainer was designed it doesn’t look like it will go flush with the sink. the angle is a little different so there is a tiny grove where food could get caught but there aren’t any leaks. it’s a double sink. also now if i push down in the middle between the two sinks it seems to give on the edge where the faucet is. is this normal? i didn’t pay too much attention to it before.
it’s a cheap basket strainer i guess. the top is steal and the rest is abs plastic. i wasn’t sure if i should use a wrench on it because it’s plastic.
and i used the plumbers putty but it the lip isn’t flush with the sink groove. it has a slight gap but there is no leak. it’s just angled a little more higher than the last one. the last one had a lip that was thinner and more like an L shape than this one. this one tapers off.

i have a little strainer that’s just a bunch of criss-crossed wires, and i strained some pasta in it only to find that some pieces are stuck in it pretty well, and they’ve dried. do you have a simple trick that i can use to clean it and make sure this doesn’t happen again? or must i resort to desperately scrubbing and picking at my sieve? any help is appreciated!
