Won't go just barley??  Heat the ring gear in a oven to about 200
degrees then remove and quickly slid onto the carrier.

Yeah, I think he's missing it just barely...as measured by one grain of barley.  lol, j/k...

I've never had a problem with ring gears not fitting right...what brand did you get?
