Not a definative answer, but, have you not left out some of the original bits that need to be reclaimed and used with the new struts - like the top platform or bearing assembly etc? The new top spring seat is okay but you still need other bits.

youll need to use parts off the original struts
more than likely youve left off the top mounts/bearing assembely

the top mount is missing, you need to take apart the old strut and the black bit with the 3 mounting holes in it you need to bolt your new strut to that, and the old top mount to the top of the turret!
