What are you doing wrong? Nothing. It's just that the odds of finding a SoJ are so abysmally low that you're going to have a truckload of other unique rings before you ever find that SoJ--if you ever do.
As others have pointed out, the Nagel-Manald-SoJ progression was only valid in Classic D2. It went out the window with LoD, so you can get rid of all those Nagelrings and Manald Heals if you want to--whether you have them or not makes no difference to the odds of the next unique ring being a SoJ.
What's your best bet for finding a SoJ? I offer the following quote from Dii.net's Item Generation Tutorial:
"...your best bet to find an SoJ is to kill monsters that are lvl 39-52, since they can't drop Dwarf Star or Raven Frost, which would cut your odds of a SoJ considerably. You have a 1/31 chance of a unique ring being an SoJ from Normal Diablo (40) or Nightmare Andariel (45), but Normal Baal (60) or Nightmare Mephisto (59), your odds are only 1/51."
Good luck.

Even the mountains
Last not forever:
Someday they, too, shall
Crumble to dust.
