You could check you have the fat lower bump stop if its not new ,there are different sizes about ,or not 100% ideal but a thin packer between the fork and bump stop would move the link up relative to damper bracket you might need slightly longer bolts.

are they the 2 bits that go over the end of the alloy part of the shoe next to the cam .if they are they are normally zinc plated steel to stop the cam wearing into the alloy they should be fitted .

I made my own leak test kit. to bung up exhaust stubs or any round hole I use the centre parts from sanding drums just grease them tighten the nut and the rubber part expands sealing the hole .there available cheap online
