Yeah, straight on the edges of the fixing ring as per the pic.
That method you mentioned sounds good for holding it in place. I think I just used a wooden... stick? dowel? where the grouphead joins the boiler. It might have been a chopped down broom handle once.
I will absolutely say my method is probably not the technically best. It did work though.

Ah cool, do you screw in the allen bolts a bit and use those? Or just straight onto the sides of the fixing ring itself where the allen bolts go in (as per attached image, as I couldn't figure out a concise way to word it)?
Also (apologies for the pestering btw), but how do you keep the boiler in place? The best (looking) method I've seen was using a wooden post with holes drilled in it to allow the grouphead bolts to go through, then just clamp the post in place. (will try to find a photo here)
