If I use the latest full backup, then do I need to ensure that the log backup that I will apply on top of it covers the time when full backup was taken? So should I use 11pm onwards log backup?

No backup are 100% sure... if your last full backup ended up "corrupted" or lost, you usually have the B plan which is to restore the previous full/diff and ALL the log from this backup to the time you want to restore to. Taking a manual log backup and deleting that file will make this B plan not working. Now... Why do you need to do a manual log backup ? why don't you do that backup with your backup tool (presuming the automatic backups are done with a backup tool)
