Thought of one more possible thing if the other advice fails.
Take a top ring back off a piston and put the ring in the cylinder. Use a ruler to make sure it's in there square, about an inch down. Then take a feeler guage and make sure you have the correct end gap on the rings(not sure what the specs would be but I'll bet someone here knows).
It's remotely possible that somehow you got a set of oversized rings, which would sure explain why they won't go in the hole.
