Default Installing struts ??

I have done this before however i took these out about a week ago (car is on jackstands) and tonight i went to put them back and they didnt want to line up. Does anyone have some pictures that i could look at to verify i am doing this right or wrong ?

Did you align the shock fork tab to the upper mounting studs? If you did not, just leave the top nut loose when installing it and you should be able to rotate the shock by hand to get the tab to line up. Then tighten everything afterwords. Same concept for the rears.
