It is better to install your flooring totally before putting in the fixtures. Just make sure the fixtures are placed on a cardboard while doing the installation so they do not scratch the flooring. This way all you will have to do is caulk around the base of your fixtures so the water, if any, does not go underneath.
I realize this is too late for you but maybe it will help someone else.
Taken from the Lifeproof installation sheet...
"LifeProof is a floating floor and should be allowed to expand and contract freely. It must not be glued, nailed, or fastened to the subfloor in any way. Permanent cabinets, vanities, islands and similar items should be installed first. Then, install LifeProof around them, leaving the proper expansion gap. LifeProof can be installed under vanities with legs. LifeProof can be installed under toilets; leave proper expansion space around flange and use a premium waterproof 100% silicone caulk. Do not anchor toilet through the material."
