"Plumbing silicone" is a lubricant (grease), not an adhesive. It won't stick things together.

It will, however, totally interfere with the PVC cement you use to glue the plumbing together, so I would not advise using it to dry fit components unless you carefully clean every trace of it from the plumbing afterwards.
