OH I see it now!! the part you have on the steerer is the upper cup, how you got it that far down is beyond me. or this this a threadless steerer?
OK the part lying under the bearing have to go on the fork first. it is the crown race, mentioned by reptilezs, it fits really tight so you made need to get a LBS to help.
then put the bearings on the race and slide it into the frame and install the upper cup.
UH can you post a pic of the parts in the headtube?
