Default Fitting rings question

Fitting the rings in #1 using grant rings on a fresh honed 8BA cylinder. Got the first oil ring fit. When I got to the 2nd oil ring it has a spring inside with directions on joint placement. Tried to compress it and it’s a tight spring! I don’t remember that in the last Hastings rings I used? Is it needed?
