is there a way to get them back in the spring perch without pulling everything back down?

this is the front struts on a 98 z28 and both are doing the same thing.

I agree, they're not seated properly in the cup. Looks like you're going to have to tear it down again and make sure they're in right before putting it all together again.

you could try using a pry bar against the lower spring cup but you should take the shock apart to seat the spring correctly.

you can get a spring compressor and it will be an easy fit without tearing it down !!
