Yes, I got one side to screw on fine, the hub threading steps down in diameter from where the cog threads on to where the lockring threads on. The flip side (or flop side) doesn't want to thread on. It does not appear to step down in diameter like the other side. Seems like I need a different lockring.

You can put a lockring, just not one that regularly goes on a track hub. And it wouldn't be reverse threaded obviously.

Problem Solved. Congrats OP.
Do you plan on riding a freewheel? Otherwise you could sell your wheels or trade for something with fixed/fixed.
