Default How to mount the piston rings from above?

Hallo und guten Abend,

today when I installing the pistons, the lower oil drainage rings were extremely difficult to thread into the cylinder from above. Even with the help of a piston ring tension band it was not manageable. (Unfortunately, a part of the oil drainage broke off on the 4th cylinder.)

What am I doing wrong?
