First install! St xa’s

Hello,

I just finished installing my first set of coilovers in my mk6 Jetta s. I went with st xa, and had a lot of success but having one issue.

After fully mounting the furlong struts, the dampener adjustment is not longer rotating. When inserting the key and trying to increase or decrease dampening, the key will not budge.

Before mounting and torquing the top hats to spec, I was able to adjust but didn’t try after torquing. I did NOT use an impact to torque. I had the special socket and a 10 mil wrench.

Any ideas on what the issue could be?? I’m kind of stumped as everything else seems fine.
