HELP! Lower shock not aligned with Top bolts

I pick my coilovers up from the shop and one of them is off a small amount. I read somewhere how to turn it, but can't find the thread. It looks like it needs to be turned a small amount to slide into place. How do I do this?

 

Try wrapping a big screwdriver in a rag, stick it in the lower mount hole, grab the top, and twist. Dont do it really hard though.

 

No dice, doesnt feel like it wants to budge.

 

needs to be compressed to turn the strut on the spring for it to line up

 

I had to go back to the shop 2 times when I did my second lift.

 

What I did to mine minus the tool

 

didnt know you could force it. I was afraid of breaking something so i took it back to the shop where they had the spring compressor.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments. Got everything installed, will post pics later.
