I use 3/4 inch wide and about 3 inches long strips of steel shim material. I use 3 strips. One at the ring gap and the other two equally spaced from the first. I start it on at the ring gap shim and then pull the ring down and insert the other shims until it is on the piston. Then, just slide it down the side of the piston as the shim material will prevent it from going into the grooves you don't want it in. You will get the hang of it fairly quickly. It's cheap, but effective. Shim stock of .040 of an inch works fairly well.
