fork installistion, ring too big?

You have the wrong size crown race. The crown race you have looks like it might be for a tapered steerer. The crown race needs to match the headset. Eg. if your headset is tapered and your fork steerer is straight, you need a crown race adaptor (about 5 from chain reaction or $10 from your bike shop).

Take a picture of your frame to see what type of headset you use... this will determine crown race model.
 
i'm using the EEB frame, u can see it here:

with the dnm usd-8:

on the frame page it says :

Headset - Headset is included. High Quality semi-integrated, sealed bearing, original Taiwan VP Components J305AC(S) headset, compatible with standard bicycle 1,1/8 and also tapered forks (two different bottom rings included).

For the EBB frame you should have gotten this as part of the kit :

yes. the biggest bearing is at the bottom and the bit smaller bearing (2 from the right) is at the top of the headtube.

I think you only need this then :

That taps onto your fork and lines up on the bearing at the bottom. Make sure you get the 2015 onwards ( 45 deg angled one ). As mentioned before... your LBS should have one if you're in a hurry.

edit. actually.. that cup might be your reducer for the bottom... But you would need another bearing... Maybe someone with the same kit you have can chime in,
 
Never mind.. i was an idiot. One peace was combine from two separate peaces and i didn't notice that...
It was the low crown and the upper ring.
Now it's all good
thx :!:



a bit annoying that at the left side it's look sunken
