It's the raised area immediately around the tone hole. The ring fits over (around) it into an area that's cut out (recessed) around the chimney. Especially if the rings are even slightly misaligned, pressing them outward with a flattened finger can force part of the ring against the chimney (raised portion) and cause it to bind on the wood.

Check carefully with the instrument (and your hands) in normal playing position and see if the ring consistently comes up smoothly as you lift your finger. If it seems to catch at all, either the ring is binding as I've described, or the screw is binding inside the sleeve, or the bridge keys are binding on each other, the last two of which the tech seems to have ruled out by saying the instrument is working correctly.

Something like this can be very frustrating.
