RE: Ring gap location
There are no ports on a 4-stroke so no ring orientation.
I have seen 2-strokes that have pins to locate the ring on the piston but you can tell when they are present because the ring has clearance for them on the ends. If the ends of the ring are flat, there's no way for the ring to stay where you put it, therefore no reason to put it in any certain position.

RE: Ring gap location
On a 4 stroke engine, it does not matter.
On a 2 stroke engine you place the ring gap in between 2 or the ports on the engine, so that the end of the ring doesn't catch in a port.
