2336: Clarification with SC3 and SG4

If the top ring on a stake still meets the criteria for being scored, satisfying the rules for SC3, but if the top ring on the stake is violating the Field (breaking the field perimeter) as per SG4, which takes priority?

Should the top ring be removed at the end of the match or should it be still counted as scored and left as is?

What should happen?

A Ring that is on a Stake has not left the Field unless that Stake also leaves the Field. There is no rule that prohibits a Ring from breaking the perimeter of the Field.
