Annoying Mistake on shock/spring install

after installing first shock/spring I noticed something was different
the shock rod did not stop when lowering that side of vehicle...my guess is I forgot a washer but did not receive one nor had any with the kit...without using spring compressor its a pain...anyone have an idea how to approach this besides redoing it?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Usually you have to strip all the needed pieces from the original and transfer them all to the new one.
