Seems to me like the trim might really sink into the foam due to high pressure and then the bottom may touch the foam but not as evenly as when the tank has no trim.
Just thinking aloud tho. Haven't had trim on a tank in some time.

Yeah this is why some people have told me NOT to use foam. Because the bottom pane of glass is designed NOT to touch anything except the trim. And when you add foam, it often sinks deep enough into the foam to contact the bottom glass. I guess over time this can be a problem.
I am super confused now if I should use it or not. Many people have told me to just make sure the stand is level and use a sheet of plywood.
