you need to put in a washer inside in the shock so it doesnt pop through.

I think Mr Jokster had that same thing happen to him when he installed the rear struts.

there it is, you can also just use a thick washer. for that piece go to lexus or take it from your stock suspension

That is a bumpstop. U should have it on your OEM strut setup. As others have mentioned, U can try and find a washer as well.

Hmm... That pic looks familiar
Yea, I'd opt for a washer cause you'll get a bit more drop back there by doing so
However, you'll lose that much lift though.

remember though, you're gonna lose some drop with them. At least try to cut them in half and use the bottom one.
I took a grinder to mine and made it flush. Its VERY easy to do... so dont skimp out, you'll regret it
Lucky its the rears though, those are very easy to remove

The circled part you basically cut in half and use the bottom part.
as shown in this old mock up, you would separate the red from the blue and use the blue piece:
