That's weird.

So, if I understand you correctly, the spring perch does NOT fit on the top in the area where the rubber cone was?

Also, the spring perch doesn't sit totally flat in the cup of the arm either, right?

So how do they expect you to adjust the height? If it was installed that way, you'd have to remove the spring and re-set the perch any time you wanted to make a height adjustment.

Weird. But if they say so, then I guess it's right. Have you tried PM'ng ShanesG? He seems to be on the ball and has done these installs before.

Well your 95% right, however, I do believe that the spring perch sits flat though. I will see what ShanesG is saying.. but thanks for looking out Sam~man

FWIW...
From what I could find out, this the difference in 1st gen rear & 2nd gen rear.
JIC have changed the rear design..
