tighten upper shock mount nut/bolt?

hey guys,

i just installed h&r springs and bilstein shocks, however, i dont think i tightened the front top nuts on the shocks enough cause i'm getting clunks on bumps on the road.

i tried tightening more with a 17mm wrench, however, the shock keeps moving aka its a spindle. how did you guys tighten the lower nut?

thanks in advance.
