The o-rings are already installed.
The picture is just for those that have never seen this before:-)

Nobody has EVER messed with this?

Of course.
and you are correct. rubber o rings into the groves, and compression rings over them, with the openings to opposite sites.
there is also a small sleeve in between the two parts. The manual shows this well.

I did not find anything that said where those C-clips go just that you make sure the gaps are spaced opposite from one another.

That's how I do it, seems like a wise option. Like others have said, there is a small collar that needs to be installed too. That just sits in the end of the two cylinder section.

Best to assemble the turbo onto the manifold first, including the dump pipe, and have most of the head studs in place so you can slide the unwieldy heavy combination into place easily. I also have a piece of particle board that I lay across the top of the air filter housing/battery area so I can rest the manifold turbo combo, whilst I get myself into a better position for the final awkward manoeuvre.

Oh, and don't forget the head to manifold gasket/s too. Embarrassing to have to pull the whole thing off again, so I imagine....

I assume the rubber o-rings are there only for installation because the heat would just melt them away

They don't melt so much as harden and solidify.

When I've pulled these apart, getting the rings out can take chiselling them out with a small screw driver or punch, or zip disc in a grinder. Can be a total PITA

Not in my current experience.

I reciently pulled off the turbo the rubber is no longer there

This was from running a turbo after a couple of days. I wouldn’t think the rubber would vaporize. that fast.
