Those rings are reinforcing plates for the flex-plate. They strengthen the attaching plate mounting surface to the crank flange and absorb the torque to the plate from the crank flange. Without them, the flex-plate may fatigue and stress crack.

The PN is B9AZ 6A366-A and your application requires 3 in number.

The replacement plate (B7A 6375-A) came with the reinforcing plates incl.
