Kartboy rear endlink question

hey everyone,
When installing the kartboy rear endlinks I noticed there's a significant amount of wiggle room once the spacers are in on the bottom, where it goes on the control arm (I have a 2014 wrx). It should fit very snug right? I don't think I'm missing washers or anything, and the spacers should be in the correct place, small one up front and thick one towards the rear. Can anyone chime in on this?
Pardon if this should be in the suspension discussion thread, just seems like not a lot of people visit there...

Thanks a lot!

Mine is the complete opposite, but I did over torque it. If it's loose, you're going to hear clunking when you go over bumps.

Thanks, once I connected the bar and torqued it down it doesn't wiggle anymore.

Make sure you are also torquing it down when the suspension is loaded as well.

This. Not supposed to be done with the wheels unsupported.
