Those 2 variables alone could make a huge difference. I have found 7.5 to be a good oil in these forks. Filled to 90mm sounds a bit high to me, it will work fine but may feel pretty firm near the end of the travel.
What I'm thinking is that maybe the original level of 130mm was too low, and the ring thing is just a wild goose chase

I can understand where you are coming from.

The reason i put the 7.5 at 90mm is because when i originally bought the forks that is this viscosity and height i used. So i basically put everything back to original. The two teardowns after this i continued with the same.

It was only when i started to get problems with lack of feeling and no adjustments that i tried a higher viscosity with a larger air gap.
