The oars should have a Black PVC sleeve about 6" to 10" long not qite at half way mark but more towards handle. This is to shield from wear of the brass oar holder against the aluminum oar.
That ring (oar stop) should be on that sleeve.
You should be able to slide your oars into the oar holder without breaking them in half. Start at the blade.
Here is my old boat and oars with the oar right. The donut on the oar right should be in the same place as the donut on your oars.
