Installing comp 910's need help

Where the heck do the shims go? that can't go on top of the spring, but they won't slide down to the head, where the heck to those little things go?

Sorry for the dumb question, having a brain fart

FWIW I wouldn't worry about shimming them as they already have more seat pressure than stock.

If you do shim them use a pencil magnet to help keep them out of them head and put them on top of the spring.

if they are on top of the spring, the cap won't fit on
I must be missing something here

Here is something that might help you. I am posting from my phone so it is a little hard to respond. I was talking about the keepers on top, not the shims, sorry.
