Default Hotchkis Sway Bar Problem?

Hi i am new to the forum but i have stuff moded on my TC. I have put on Progress springs and the Hotchkis front and rear sawy bars. Can anyone tell me if they have had any problems with there says bars after they have installed them beacuse i get a knocking. I think i know what is causing the knocking. Look at the links below and you can see scratches on the controller arm which i think is from the front sway bar.

if pictures dont come up sorry i am new too this

Also i installed the sway bars and then had to redo the brackets because i found out that they were reversed from teh instructions that were given in the box. I have pictures of the brackets after i took them off and was wondering if anyone thinks there is a problem with reinstalling the ones i took off or should i ask hotchkis for replacements? Here are the pics of the brackets:

Remember that the bushings are different sizes too.
