You have the lower ring in the wrong 'groove'. The correct location is on the very end of the plastic elbow seen in this image from
Jules' How To.
It's a pretty poor design, assuming MGR always intended using two rings (which I personally doubt). The end/lower ring really should have an additional retaining wall to prevent it dropping off. Many OEM rings end up in the bottom of the intercooler for this reason.
Jules' suggestion for reinforcing the elbow-intercooler joint is here:
