Default Piston rings

Hi, I believe that they have sent the wrong piston rings. As you can see from the pic' there doesn't seem to be enough room for the spiral (oil ring) and spacers. of have I got it wrong. The blurb with the rings says fit spacer first, then spiral and then other ring. it can't happen.
Secondly, ring tool, can't figure out how it works. Seems to compress rather than open rings.

OK. Crisis over. I either miss read the blurb or it was wrong. One piston done, the rest should be a piece of cake

When I removed No. four piston I found a broken top ring. no scoring on bore that I could see
