Default F2 F&F Function and Form Coilover pillow ball problem HELP

Lets post this up here also. Might be helpful for other people in the future.
So I have F2 coilovers.
AS you can see on the pictures. The lines on the outside not matching up. I dont even understand why the bolts are not in the same directions wwhile the line are almost matching. On both plate all the bolts should be closer to either to the inside or to the outside. BUT THIS???
So If i remove 1 bolt from the driver side so i can slide down the strut towards the positive camber then i have to move strut so much to see the next hiding empty hole that i will end up with only 4 lines on the positive camber side which is too much!!!
On the Passenger side i can slide it down all the way to the left ( towards positive) without removing any bolts but i will end up with 3 lines. ITS STILL NOT MATCHING UP!!
Basically on the Driver side at this point 7 lines is the minimum or if i move bolts around the 4 line is the maximum.
Passenger side:3 lines minimum and 6 lines maximum.

Can i run only 4 bolts per plate. basically 2 next to each other without having 1 empty hole between them? I think that's the only way to match it up.

Most coilovers I've seen only have for of those bolts. It would be fine to just haev 4 bolts holding it down instead of all 6 to get both sides to match. I've done it before and had no issues with it moving around at all.

I spun mine to... but I'm having an issue with my coils now. 5k miles later going about 45 under load I'm getting "shuka shuka" type sound. Any ideas people? Maybe ending adjustment? If so how do you adjust? Don't mean to thread jack btw
