Default Bc coil overs problems, help!

Just got my coilovers, and FRR bushings installed ans the car off jackstands. Love the drop but noticed a gap between thr strut tower and the top coil over nut. I used the two gold color cup washers like stated in directions. This is my first coil over install but can't figure out if that's how it supposed to be because I'm thinking no...

The first nut I just jammed tight, didn't see anything in directions about it specifically.

198 views and nobody knows if there gto went together the same way? If you look at that rubber strut top pad donut looking bushing ontop, you'll see a gap between the body and that donut. Is that normal? Right now i feel like if you were to jack the car up and let the suspension hang, the top of the coil over isn't tight to the strut tower (body). There's 1\4-1\2" of gap i see in those pictures.
