Default Saturn V (2157) build question

Has anyone built the current SV and found a problem with the LM stage centering rings? Both the rings seem a little small for the section of tube to create the stack. Gappy and a little thin for my taste also. Not sure if I have an early kit or if this is just the regular state of affairs. I seem to remember really having to tamp the rings down into the sections of tube to build the torus in step 5 and step 7 - these just drop in and float around. I really prefer to have a solid contact on the card parts as opposed to filling with glue that I know will one day fail.
