Did you solve the problem? The dome part of the washer faces up and the dust protection washer cups the top strut bearing as shown by both pictures. First picture (left) is correct. Bilstein B4 are universal so you will need to rotate the shock 'left' or 'right' to the corresponding side. Obviously, the label would be visible in the gap where you tighten the shock to the hub (swivel bearing).

Providing that you pushed the hub (swivel bearing) as far up as possible when tightening the shock, the problem may be that the springs are incorrectly seated especially at the bottom pad. The top strut bearing should rotate freely.

Lower part of spring is smaller

Replace spring pad (1).Important!

Make sure spring pad (1) is correctly seated on shock absorber. Guide (2) must be correctly seated in opening (3) in shock absorber!

No idea what model your car is
