[Elecraft] securing toroids in K2, why not?

I just installed the first toroid, RFC14, in my K2 kit. After
winding it, I sprayed it with conformal coating, and just before
installing it I put a small dab of RTV3145 (non-corrosive) silicone seal
on the end next to the PC board and then soldered it in place.
So.... I turn the page in the manual and the very next thing in bold
is "Do not use adhesives or fixatives of any king to secure toroids to
the PC board.
Would this also apply to conformal coating? Should I remove RFC14
and take the RTV off it?
Thanks,
