any tool marks on the strut rod will void the warranty immediately.

that doesnt look right to me, it looks like the bushing is not compressed much if at all...

Me thinks he's right. Either you crossthreaded the bolt on top, or you put the wrong nut on the wrong threads. I would take it back apart and make sure.

Try putting an impact wrench on it and turning it down. If the rod turns underneath, you have the threads screwed up. If the nut wont turn and the rod underneath wont either, it's tight.

DO NOT use any tools on the shaft of the rod(h: ). To hold it in place so that you can tighten it, you need to insert an appropriately sized allen/hex key into the top of the rod, and then tighten the nut with a box-end wrench. Is that a stock damper? Looks like you broke something off in the top of the rod
