Ligature placement?

I'm a fairly new player, learning the Clarinet on my own.
I've got a question about the proper placement of the Rosvner Lite Ligature on the Mouthpiece.
In this case it a a Woodwinds Vito 11 mouthpiece.
Where exactly should the ligature line up with the mouthpiece?
The Mouthpiece has both a lower and upper scribe line around the Mouthpiece and the Ligature has 2 lines around it as well .
The lines on the Ligature are closer together than the lines on the Mouthpiece and then the ligature body itself is somewhat wider than the scribe lines around the mouthpiece.
So should the bottom of the ligature itself line up with the lower scribe mark on the mouthpiece or should the lower scribe line on the ligature line up with the lower scribe mark on the Mouthpiece?....
when I do the latter I notice the Clarinet has a much fuller , louder sound
