hum, are the shocks too long/springs too short for it to be tight, or are the shocks too short to go though the top hat and tighten back down?

unbolt your control arm from the shock tower and let it drop, put the shock up through the shock tower and bolt in on but not all the way tight, place bottom of the shock in the cup, use a small floor jack to push the shock into the cup. Bolt the control arm back up and tighten everything.
