What do you mean they're sticking too far out into the engine bay?

Struts go under the car.

Can you take a picture and post it up so we can get a better idea as to what you're talking about?

you assemble them wrong

You have to put a washer under the rubber bushing on top of the strut. This should be the first thing on the strut beforeinstalling the spring and the top pillow. Also there should be another washer on the very top of the strut
