are you sure you are putting everything together right? what about the coils, are they for that truck?

looks to me like the bottom spring retainer could be turned 180* and bolt down to the part of the coil thats flush against the coil cup (i think you mentioned that but i wanted to make sure)

There's only one way the spring can go.
I ordered 78 79 bronco 6" lift superflex coils, and I'm assuming that's what they sent.

I know I need to rotate the bottom retainer, but that messes up the top.
I guess the best thing to do would be to drill new holes.
