This is a rim strip that turns it into a UST rim. So it will accept a tubeless UST tire, and it has the same rim edge and little hump for the flap of the UST tire to seal against. You push it down into the rim, that valve hole lined up, go around, and now stretch it.
It usually ends up this way, where it's in on one side but not on the other. You kind of need to stretch it over. You can try flipping a screwdriver underneath it, and sort of evening it out, so you make sure that it's even on both sides, and then get it to just slowly work around. Once you have your rim strip down and even, then you put in your valve stem and screw on the collar nut, and now you are ready to mount a UST tubeless tire onto a non-tubeless rim.
