Coilover reinstall - need some help

I replaced one of my UCAs this weekend. Tore the upper ball joint boot when replacing the IWEs and just got the Moog UCA with the replaceable ball joint. My issue during reassembly came with the coilover. I could not get the stem of the shock/strut up high enough to be able to reinstall the rubber isolator. I ended up being able to get the large flat washer and nut back on, so I'm safe there, but want to avoid the rattles I'm sure I'll end up with down the road. Any advice?

Bushing/Isolator


Where it goes
