Default help with piston rings>!!!

i am building a 6.0 and my top ring is skinnier than the second ring. which is 1.5mm. the oil ring is also skinnier than 3mm so my standard rings i bought will not work. i thought it was a stock piston, its standard bore. im so confused and need this truck back on the road. please help me, the block was supposed to be a 2007. the rods and pistons are floating pins if that helps

Look up rings for an 06 LS2. That's what thickness they are. Rock Auto had stock rings for about $85.
