I usually assemble the rim and tone ring as a unit. Make sure everything fits together as it should.
Place the pre-mounted head inside the tension hoop - and install that assembly over the rim.
Add the hooks & nuts and tension the head evenly all around to set a level crown.
On my pre-mounts, you can moisten the hide a little of the crown needs to be stretched (only if truly necessary - otherwise wetting is not recommended). Do not wet the head while it is off the rim. I include instructions in my packaging (copy attached here).
For a good fit, the flesh hoop should be about the same size as the tension hoop. It should fit neatly underneath the tension hoop. If anything (the head, hoop or rim) is out-of-round, and/or if the head is too small or large, assembly might be difficult (or impossible).
Post photos of the parts if your trouble persists.
Best wishes.
