Urgent: help on Bilstein HD Rear Shock assembly

*urgent* Swapping out rear shocks: *urgent*
I've checked for pics and threads and not finding the answer...
Cut my old on off. No problems. Installing new Bilstein 4600 HDs.
Question:
What's the order of assembly for the top (rear)?
Or what goes above the cars attachment point?
In the pack:
2 rubber spacers
2 hardened steel washers (cupped)
1 stainless steel washer (cupped)
1 nut (obvious)
2 tapered bushings (bottom)

Not a big job I just want o do it correct and the setup is slightly different then the "foreign autoparts" replacement that was on there.
P.S. The car is on stands and is my daily driver

TIA!

- bushing
- shock mount/body
- bushing
- cupped steel washer (facing down)
- stainless washer
- nut
