Your problem is documented in the example on page A-30:

ROTATE THEN OR SELECTED BITS
The following example illustrates the use of ROTATE THEN OR SELECTED BITS
to rotate and combine selected bits of general registers 6 and 8.
LG 6,=X'004C487040CF4600'
LG 8,=X'C07FAF37FC968280'
ROSBG 6,8,8,54,32

On completion, condition code 1 is set, and general register 6 is as
follows:
GR6: 00DECAF0C0FFEE00
Note that only bits 8-54 of the registers are ORed; bits 0-7 and 55-63 of
general register 6 are not modified.

Correcting this to add caffeine is left as an exercise for anyone who cares
to.

I'm continually amazed at the instructions the architecture has gotten vs.
ones it hasn't.
