Starting a 1098 engine rebuild and I’ve received a set of 2c6742030 Hastings Piston rings.

For the oil control ring I’ve got this octagon shaped ring. The previous oil rings only had 3 parts: top rail, expander and bottom rail.

Does this extra part go inside the expander?

Thanks

The 'Hex' piece usually is the expander in that type of ring.
