I would take those lids off and take a look at the seal, you might have some that are defective in some way but otherwise I am with everyone else. Those should be sealing and if they have not you can always reprocess with a new lid and only tighten finger tight and let them cool after they have sealed then you can tighten the rings.
Some folks I know don't use the rings for storage but I do because I want to make sure there is no way for the lid to be popped off somehow when someone other than myself is rifling through the goods.
