One more question. I have installed a u joint. I am not sure one side

Use a small drill bit as a gage to compare the visible height of the
rings or the end gaps.

Would it be ok to slightly grind the diameter of the ring? I seem to
have tried everything.

Scrape the groove clean and remove any burrs on the edge.

Update:

Just for kicks I measured the old clips and new ones. an old clip was .
056 thick. New ones were .059. Times two this would be .003. Could
this cause the problem I am having?

I'm a bit skeptical of your measurements.

But only you can answer your question. If the old clips fit nicely and
the new clips don't then yes that is the cause.
