They do fit exceptionally well in the AMD hood, the aluminum ring supplied with the hood definitely has fitment issues. Our ring is virtually indistinguishable as being a reproduction compared to an original. The reproduction ring fits an original hood perfectly and the AMD hood the same. I've supplied many of our rings to customers because of the same issues you're having.
