Kyb Struts-brake Line Doesnt Reach

I installed some KYB GR-2s on my front today. They appeared pretty much the same as the Tokicos I took out, but when I installed the KYBs the brake line (where its secured to the little bracket on the strut) is about an inch away and wont reach. ??? One side I can get, but the other is a good inch from the bracket and no closer. I removed the strut and installed it a second time-same thing.

Anyone have this problem? Does the brake line really have to be secured??

Hmmmmm...damper? Im not sure what this is. I did install new strut mounts. Is this the 'damper'? I installed the components what were shown in the service manual. Did I miss something? If yours clipped right on I guess I did.
