While they are a pliable rubber like an o-ring, my 'o-rings' actually look like the bushings here:

Instead of the o-rings here:

And the bushings (the hard piece that fits between the two o-rings) I received had a regular 'flat' edge instead of the concave edge as per the diagram in the manual and the first link above.
Not sure if I have the right parts or not.
From what I've seen there were 2 square edged o-rings, a Teflon ring in between, and a Teflon compression ring held in by the lower shock retainer.
I saw your other thread after I responded in this one and the picture looked just like what I had.
Question. Did you put the Teflon ring in between the 2 o-rings? I would assume you did but sometimes it's the simple things that catch us off guard.
For example when I built my shocks I accidentally used the washer that goes behind the shock retainer nut under the shock piston instead of the shim that goes there. I had to disassemble both front shocks and swap the part out for the correct part, then refill and re-bleed both shocks. Oops.
