Need help on Koni install

I bought Koni 4/4 from Sam and have the rears in with stock springs and heater hose mod but the fronts are being a little more tricky. I have the struts out and took them to a shop to take the springs off and I had them install the stock springs on the koni's (lower perch) but in doing so the mounts wont line up. Is it possible to twist them so I can get the bolts in or should I just rent some spring compressors to adjust the top of the strut so everything lines up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I ran into the same problem myself. I just lined up the shock with the compressor still on them, line them up, and then marked the shock and removed the springs.

9/10 it will work out.
