Strut problems with SS 1.2

So I finished the sonoran steel 1.2 install yesterday and thought all went well. Took it for a drive today and it was making a lot of clunking when the suspension extends. I looked and found the nut on top of the bilsteins has about 1/4" gap between the washer on top of the bushing on both sides.

I set the bilsteins at the 2" ring and had a hell of a time putting them together. The spring doesn't appear to be hung up anywhere. Their instructions talked about swapping out the 3 studs on top of the strut and placing a spacer, but it wasn't included in my kit.

Edit: fixed the issue, ultimately I'm dumb and wasn't paying attention. I forgot to put the lower bushing in the upper shock mount in.
