I have a house made of lightweight concrete built on a slab foundation.
In a section where there are larger window sections, there is an outer wall under the window section built with wooden studs and regular fiberglass insulation that I am replacing.
I am constructing the wall according to the wood guide, the sill is against the sill tape, but I am unsure about the two outermost studs that are against the lightweight concrete wall.

I plan to fold the wind barrier over the studs I've circled in red that are attached to the concrete wall.
I have drawn the window section, the studs, the concrete walls/slab, and the sill tape in the image below. Is it done correctly? I can't find any guidance on how to proceed when I search around..

Pallbrickor are nice as spacers, available in 2, 5, and 10 mm, perhaps more thicknesses :)

Then seal with foam sealant?
 
How do you seal it so that it doesn't leak at the joint between the stud and the concrete wall?

Used a 5mm packing shim and foam sealant
