Default Can't fully tighten rear strut from the top

I recently came across blox lowering springs and the install went smoothly in the front on my 95 gsr, when it came to the rear I broke both Bolts on the lower control arm ha to buy new control arms and a new struts because I didn't feel like dealing with the broken bolt, so I bought stock rear struts from acura along with lower control arm bolt that goes into the shock, I bought a nice pair of rear lower control arms from skunk, now everything is installed nice and dandy and when I took the car off the jack stands I noticed in the rear trunk that the strut nut is out of thread and I can't tighten it anymore and there's still about half an inch of space from the nut and the bushing, I did not forgot any bushings it is done properly, what should I do ?through another bushing ontop so I can fully tighten the strut? Or would that be an issue. Has anyone ever run into an issue with installing lowering springs on stock struts besides blowing the strut prematurely,

Did you put the washer on the shock before you put the tophat on?



Should be #2 in that diagram.
