Thanks for all the comments and help. Steeda strut fitment take 2. Took a bit longer due to coffee and cake!
So I took the nuts off - defintely on too tight.
Raided my dad's supply of washers and we worked out what we needed in order to level off the inner most studs. They all just needed a 2mm washer, one though needed x2 2mm washers.
Doubled the washers up on top as recommended, cut away the edge of the larger washer to make way for the weld. Steeda really should supply wider washers to begin with. The ones supplied just cover the holes.
Sitting much better now compared to yesterday on both sides (no floating gap).
Then torqued them down. Much better feel through the torque wrench, you could feel them nipping up and going tight, whereas yesterday I could have just kept on going.
Happy with that.
