To the OP, have you unbolted the old ring gear from the carrier? That ring with the notches in it shouldn't come off with the ring gear at all. Just unbolt the ring gear (left-handed threads) and bolt the new ring gear on with some thread-locker.

Last I checked the reluctor ring for the ABS was part of the carrier itself, not the ring gear.

The best way I have found to remove the ring gear without disturbing the ABS reluctor ring is to loosen the ring bolts then tap on them instead of the carrier to knock the ringgear loose.

Lol, My bad. I had a 4-channel rear in my car. Then I bought a 3 channel 12 bolt and converted it to a 3/4 channel...Maybe on my 12 bolt the reluctor for the 3 channel was attached to the ring gear.
Sorry...I figured the stock 3 channel was the same as my Moser. Silly me.
