The o ring groove in the photo is correct and it's a pita to get it out of that groove.
It's reusable a few times and not all filters come with a new one.

Not a fan of the cartridge filters, ideally I would like a top mounted spin on filter.
They make conversion kits OR the earlier raptors has spin on filters, maybe can find the parts to change to spin on.

For clarity, this is what I am talking about, see photo. There is a groove at the very top edge/rim of the canister, I labeled it groove #2, then one just below that area, I labeled it groove #1. The photo has a white rubber o-ring in groove #1, that I am reading from everyone is in the correct placement location of the o-ring. Groove #2 is incorrect and not where the o-ring goes. correct?

I use an empty gallon washer fluid jug I cut the top off of it and drop the filter into it. Catches the oil and no messy bilge. When I worked for Audicyears ago 1.8 turbos had a filter that would leak into the subframe if you didn't catch the filer in a jug of sorts. I had a special jug called my tear bucket because the wash guy's would constantly toss it out when they took oil filters out and I would whine and complain until I found it.
Ok thought so too after looking at the filter housing. (thanks for that edit! ;-) I was questioning myself deeply) If I recall, when I initially removed the cap, on the first oil change, the o-ring was in groove #2, at the very top of the housing.
And Yes, I agree, @Larry, great article post! Here's another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh_u_lxznX0&t=1s
