$$
R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S' = (S'_{\mathfrak q'})^\wedge \times B'
$$
by Lemma \ref{lemma-completion-finite-extension}.
Note that we have a commutative diagram
$$
\xymatrix{
R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S \ar[r] & S_\mathfrak q^\wedge \\
R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S' \ar[r] \ar[u] &
(S'_{\mathfrak q'})^\wedge \ar[u]
}
$$
where the right vertical is an isomorphism and the lower horizontal
arrow is the projection map of the product decomposition above.
The lemma follows.
by Lemma \ref{lemma-completion-finite-extension}. Observe that under this
product decomposition $g$ maps to a pair $(u, b')$ with
$u \in (S'_{\mathfrak q'})^\wedge$ a unit because $g \not \in \mathfrak q'$.
The product decomposition for $R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S'$
induces a product decomposition
$$
R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S = A \times B
$$
Since $S'_g = S_g$ we also have
$(R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S')_g = (R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S)_g$
and since $g \mapsto (u, b')$ where $u$ is a unit we see that
$(S'_{\mathfrak q'})^\wedge = A$. Since the isomorphism
$S'_{\mathfrak q'} = S_\mathfrak q$ determines an isomorphism on
completions this also tells us that $A = S_\mathfrak q^\wedge$.
This finishes the proof, except that we should perform the sanity check
that the induced map
$\phi : R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \otimes_R S \to A = S_\mathfrak q^\wedge$
is the natural one. For elements of the form $x \otimes 1$
with $x \in R_\mathfrak p^\wedge$ this is clear as the natural
map $R_\mathfrak p^\wedge \to S_\mathfrak q^\wedge$ factors through
$(S'_{\mathfrak q'})^\wedge$. For elements of the form $1 \otimes y$
with $y \in S$ we can argue that for some $n \geq 1$ the element
$g^ny$ is the image of some $y' \in S'$. Thus $\phi(1 \otimes g^ny)$
is the image of $y'$ by the composition
$S' \to (S'_{\mathfrak q'})^\wedge \to S_\mathfrak q^\wedge$ which is
equal to the image of $g^ny$ by the map $S \to S_\mathfrak q^\wedge$.
Since $g$ maps to a unit this also
implies that $\phi(1 \otimes y)$ has the correct value, i.e., the
image of $y$ by $S \to S_\mathfrak q^\wedge$.
\end{proof}
