I purchased some Bilstein inserts for some Boge 3" 911 front struts. Everything fits except the top cap is a couple mm shy of screwing down. Anyone run into this issue? I don't know if I need a different top cap or different insert. When I take the insert out it screws down all the way but the insert is a couple mm to tall when it's in the strut. ???

Both sides are the same. Won't tighten any further. They get to that point and then just stop. I always put a little oil in the bottom but not enough to change the height.
