Dont worry about it. Its just because the suspension has more travel then the spring has length.

That should be correct. GC's are adjustable, so when you adjust them to a very low setting they are MUCH shorter than stock. When you raise the ride height the springs should then be able to expand enough to hit the perch and thus not be loose when the car is off the ground.

thx for help everyone, if that's normal, what should we do when oil change, rotate tires, guys do these jobs may not know this problem, coz if you don't hold it to the right spot when the car is touching the ground, GC may not fit properly, it's too danger

Its not that bad, Mine only do that on the front. When you get ready to put your car back on the groun just make sure that the spacer parts are sitting nicely on the spring. simple and easy.
