Bit the bullet!

Went to dartshoppers EU and got my first proper board!

Now, I have a couple of questions..

1 - First time using steel tip and I see that the darts punch quite a hole on the board when they stick. I'm not throwing it with a lot of power as they stick very easily, its just that the whole board has tiny holes. Is it normal? Will it kind of heal back?

2 - The set I bought has a steel tip set from Koto, which I like although a bit on the heavy side. There are this small metal rings that should go on the tip of the stems to pressure the flights on to the stem... But I don't know how to mount them properly..... If I put the metal ring and then the flight, the metal ring just gets pushed down the stem and is not actually tightening the flight at all. Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks!
