Rear koni shock install question

Hey guys,
I went to install my koni ground control coilover today for the rear and i noticed a gap of about 1/4" or so between the control arm bushing and the strut mount. Now i know once centered its about 1/8" or 3/16" or so on either side but is this normal? Like can the strut mount fork be pushed together when the nut is torqued?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Eddie

Well the fork actually do bend in and also goes back to normal when the nut is backed off again. I notice the fork definitely has thicker metal which takes away from the nut thread.
