Lower control arm question

Hi everyone

Seems I'm having an issue installing my lower control arms and strut bars in my Demon.
I totally stripped the car down. I started reassembling the front end, when I install the lower control arms and the strut arms I can't seem seem to get the pivot arm bushing to pull all the way up to the k member. It almost seems like the strut arms are to long. I am using a set of energy suspension poly bushing.

My question is should the control arms snug up tight to the k member or should there be some space. I can only get mine as close as 1/2" from the k member.

Please some help me. It seems tome that the poly bushings are far to thick to allow everything to snug up tightly.
