O-rings are usually constrained in a annular pocket. I suggest you add the three surfaces of that pocket as rigid bodies to this simuation.
Also, If the geometry and loads are all axisymmetric, you will be much better off creating a 2D axisymmetric model.
Please reply with a 2D radial slice of the geometry for further discussion.
