Looks like you might have forgotten to put #14 and/or #7 back in.

Actually, looking at it again, you may have put switched #14 and #6.

#14 is very important.

#14 should have the larger end of the tapered hole facing down. It should mate correctly with the shock's shaft that way. It should rest where the shaft gets smaller. The Honda diagram is a bit mis-leading. #10 should go above #14, and so on.

In your picture, it really looks like you have one of the #14s on top of that mount. They are the thicker of the two washers.

Best Regards
