the piston is stepped. The metal ring the boot is affixed to is what the top hat sits on. take the spring off and you will notice it will not slide up and down the piston as it sits on the bump stop plate
How far are you supposed to screw in the first nut when installing the top mount? Because I notice the thread is quite long if you push down on the shock. Not sure how far I'm supposed to tighten the bolt. Could you please give me a point of direction?

All the way till it stops. Use an impact, and make sure you don't spin the shock shaft.
