I wonder what your rings are made of.
These tools are meant for gold and silver which are soft metals.
Also consider what the ring is placed on as you strike the stamp.
If the surface was soft the ring could deform, but if the ring was placed on say a leather padded hard surface then there would be little chance of deformity, nor scratching.
Also practice on a flat piece of the same metal to get a feel for the amount of force you need to use.

First, practice stamping on other (scrap) pieces first. You can try stamping on copper or brass that is the same gauge as the metal that you are using for your rings.
1. You need to have the metal that you are stamping be on a very hard surface, like a jewelers anvil (very smooth steel) which is on a base that does not bounce. A regular tabletop is too bouncy, if you do not have a heavy workbench or hammering stump, you can put the anvil on the floor, but that will be more awkward.
2. You need to have a heavy enough hammer, and you need to hit the stamp hard enough, and hit it squarely. That is where the practice part is important. As you try doing this on scrap pieces, it will give you the skill to try it on your artwork. The reason that I suggest copper or brass is that they are less expensive, but behave like the more expensive metals. Also, it is a good idea to wear protective eye goggles, just in case.

If you have a straight or a goose neck stamp for jewelry then all you need is a ring block and a middle weight hammer. This is the most basic way of stamping rings and probably the least expensive way. A jewelers’ ring block/anvil is simply a brass block with various size openings to seat a ring while stamping.
If you have this set of tools and the stamp is not clear in the ring then you may need to apply for pressure with the hammer and also check the stamp itself, sometime if they are not made right, they won’t stamp clearly. Try it by pressing it on a piece of paper.
Nowadays jewelers use laser or hand engravers to stamp their jewelry without damaging the rings. Also if you spend a little more money you can get a stamping pliers from a jewelers’ supply shop. It’s basically a pliers with one end there is the stamp and the other end there is a replaceable plastic to it doesn’t damage the ring.
But most instances there will be some scratch or light dent on the ring unless you use a laser engraver so you may need to polish the area gently to remove them.
