Nah. Don't stress. It's just a different solution for the same "problem".
That last pic makes it clear. The collar looks like it's designed to retain the bumpstop, so I'd use it as they specify. It shouldn't pose an issue to threading the top nut.
As long as you've got the nut fully threaded onto the shaft and torqued to spec, you should be fine. It looks like you had plenty of engagement in the first pic.
