This is not the method used on this case style.
These use a metal spacer ring attached to the movement with a spring ring set into the case back, this ring is often missing. If either the spacer ring or the spring ring is missing the movement will not sit properly within the case.
The case back seats between the inner case wall and the retainer ring and the spring ring presses against the retainer ring to sandwich everything in place.
Note the missing spring ring on this case back photo I grabbed from the web.
