cv tech clutch install question

hey guys. I am putting a cv teck clutch in my o9 outlander and see the the new clutch has the big ring bolted to the back of it. is this suposed to be removed before cause it seems to hit the plastic shroud? I seen some vids of the cv Installs and none of them had this ring? Just wanted to know if anyone else come across this before. thanks.
