Moog Idler arm fitment with Cognito Kit

[07keo02]

I am concerned with how far the moog idler arm is seated on the support along with the cognito support kit. The bigger silver replacement nut is not even flush with the end of the threads of the support stud. For one, it is really hard to get to with that support bracket, but it feels like I got it fairly tight. Somewhere in the instructions it also mentioned a tool to seat the idler arm. Is it possible that it cannot be seated all the way by just tightening the nut?

Here are some pictures of my concern.

I think the nut on mine is about the same, been fine for 3 years.

Sounds good, my main concern was that fact that it was a locknut but it isn't to the locking area inside the threads. I might just back it off and add some locktite for peace of mind.

I backed it off and coated the threads with red loctite. I feel confident in it now. Thanks.
