The rings will likely move around on their own while the engine is running.
The biggest thing is to install the first and second rings with the gaps at least 90 degrees apart.

Thanks for the responses!
Yesterday I had to deal with a tight cam bearing..... That's pretty common on a big block. For the oil ring, I do like the Factory Service Manual shows. See attachment. The top rings I put the gaps in line with the piston pin, but opposing sides for top and bottom.
