Default Tockio D specs/MM C/C Plates HELP

Are the D specs 3026 Series struts and shocks? I cant find the answer online. and my parts are at work so i cant check. I think i installed the spacers wrong. I put more spacers under the C/C Plates.

so it looks like this..] http://customerpics.americanmuscle.c...1660&sku=47000

But should it look like this?... http://customerpics.americanmuscle.c...3150&sku=47000

the directions say if im using the 3026 series it should look like the first link.

It depends on whether and how much you are lowered, and clearance issues.

At the stock height the spacers go beneath the CC plate, as you lower the car spacers transfer to the top to attempt to keep the strur extension range as long as possible.

However, it is possible with some struts and CC plates to have clearance problems between the strut and the plate, and need to place more spacers beneath the plate.

on my kyb struts, i had to hack away the rubber bumper that sat in the stock CC plates.
i still had to end up with 2 spacers on the bottom 1 up top.

ok i got it to work. but i have 1 short spacer on the bottom and 1 long spacer on the bottom. Then i have 1 short spacer and 1 long spacer on the top. the passenger side is fine. But the driver side is taller then the passenger side and it hitting the hood. So its uneven. No damage to my hood other then the Strut chipped out the inside of my hood. No big deal i guess as long as no damage was done to the strut because im planning on getting a cowl good in the future but what could be the cause of the drive side being higher then the passenger side. If i put any more spacers on the bottom then ill be running the set up Maximum Motorsports said to run for non lowered vehicles.

any ideas?
