Parts orientation of FSA headset for Look 565 frame

Hi all,

I got an old Look 565 frameset, probably early 2000s? It came with an FSA headset and the guy told me that he doesn't remember how it was assembled, but that "all the parts definitely were used".

I took some pictures of "all the parts". From bottom to top, the beginning is clear: no cone race (integrated), lower bearing, head tube, upper bearing. The bearings lie in the second row in the picture. Then it continues from right to left in the first row: compression ring, micro spacers, cover and the last one is what I assume to be a transition spacer between the cover and the "normal" Look spacers for things to look smoother. Based on some exploded views for older FSA headsets, this is what I assume to be the correct parts orientation. Now there are two more larger compression rings (they're identical) in the second row. What would these be for? Do I use them as well? If so where?

I appreciate any thoughts if someone knows this headset type better than me! Thanks.
