Your kit should have come with upper spring pads with additional plastic bushings to lock it in place and the lower spring pads.
The easiest way that worked for me was installing both spring pads in the cradle and top body first (not onto spring) then make sure that top of the springs lines up with upper pad while simultaneously pushing the cradle down and fitting the bottom of the spring over lower spring pad hump.
There are some pics in my main write up and in the write up where ecs tuning sent me wrong springs.
