Spring popping when turning (New suspension and mounts)

I just installed new Tokico suspension and H-Tech Teins with new OEM Strut Mounts and bearings. Whenever I turn hard left, you can hear a distinct popping sound. Looking under the car, you can see that the springs aren't turning smoothly at that angle. They kind of do a slight tick at the top of the spring. The bottom part of the spring is seated fine and doesn't move.

Does this usually correct itself over time or is there a problem there I need to fix.

Maybe with an issue with how the spring is seated at the top?

Thanks for the quick reply, guys.

The Tokico's should have a mark too where we can align it, right? It's kind of dark outside right now but I can take a look tomorrow when I get back under there.

When I was watching a videos and DIY's they talked about the rears lining up, but not the fronts.

Thanks again!

They should have a mark on them but if not you can tell the orientation of the bottom perch from where the tie rod arm is in the picture.
