Question Coilover question

Hey guys I'm in the middle of installing my stance coilovers and I can't figure out how to get the sway bar endlink into the new bracket on the front coilover. Took a picture, maybe I have the stances set up wrong?

i would always place a jack under the brake disc and jack it up until its even. i have a feeling this is not the proper way of doing this but it works lol

You have stance right? how does the perch go on the bottom and the bump stop up top? Also, when you adjust the strut how much tension did you put on the spring? i feel like i have something set up wrong because its really bouncy and harsh
