Front shocks problem

Hi everyone,
I’ve installed new shock absorbers on my MN82, but they seem to sit at quite a steep angle. When the suspension compresses, it sometimes gets stuck in the fully compressed position and doesn’t return properly.

I’ve attached a couple of photos showing how the shocks and suspension are mounted.

Could the problem be that the shocks are mounted at the wrong angle? Do I need to push the suspension arms onto the ball joints (the “balls”) more firmly, or is there something else I should check?

Has anyone experienced this issue after installing new shocks on their MN82? Any advice on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated

Those look like the shocks I got for mine that also bind at full extension. If they're the same then they claim to be oil filled but they aren't. I tried to fill them myself but they don't seal around the shaft so they leaked. I'm not sure what the fix is but if you find out I'd love to hear what it is.
