Replacing oil pan gasket set

[Pauls46P15]

I am in the middle of replacing the oil pan gasket set for my 1946 Plymouth. 

There is an additional Fel-Pro Installation Tips" which mentions the Fel-Pro supplied O-ring and cutting off 2 sections 1.125 inches each from that O-ring and using the pieces in the main cap groove

the tip says:

Use the O-ring supplied to fabricate new front main cap seals.
Cut 2 sections of the O-ring to approximately 1.125 inches in
length and lay in the cap groove.

 

My question is where is the cap groove that gets covered by 1.125 inches.

I can see what I think are two grooves running along the end plate which I think is the cap groove plate  that is attached to the main front cover of the engine.

There  were two 3 1/2" O-rings supplied and their length is 10 11/16 when cut.

The two O-rings when cut are long enough to run along the the entire length of the two grooves.

So what am I missing?

thank you,

Paul
