What you’re doing wrong is using those parts from JBG. I installed those last year and noticed that same thing. I went with it though. After about 93 days, (3 days past warranty) I noticed that the boots were rotted and cracked and grease was squirting out.
If I were you I would return them for a refund and buy Moog parts.

Notice the difference in this pic - not only the rotted boot, but how much farther down the castle nut is on the threads.
