I think I see two threads hanging off of the hub in your picture. That's probably fine. I'd want more than half, maybe two-thirds, of the ~6 threads on a lockring engaged with the hub.

Either way works, though you could try flipping it to see if more threads engage. You need the narrower side in to clear the chain when using a 12t cog.
Take a look at his All-City links. There's no way to engage more threads.
