NO! That is incorrect. The flex plate goes on first then the reinforcing ring. The function of it was to spread the load over a larger surface area and reduce the chances of the thin flex plate cracking.

Between flexplate and torque converter. Example: 1965/72 car parts catalog pic.

Same puppy dog: 1965/67 F100/350 352 MX Cruise-O; 1968/76 F100/350 360/390 C6 // 1959/71 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars ALL FE engines with FX/MX Cruise-O & C6.
