Default yb piston ring install

hi all . gonna start rebuilding my yb that has already been dummy fitted .
just about to start fitting pistons and put piston ring gaps at 120 degrees to each other . does it matter where the ring gaps go on the pistons or is it ok as long as there is 120 degrees btween gaps ?
would hate it to spit out a ring just coz i got the ring gaps wrong !!

dosent matter really, just make sure the rings are compressed fully when you're fitting them
