Default driver front strut knocking

So earlier today I installed my f-sport springs but after install, i hear a knocking from my driver side front spring/strut. it sounds like it's primarily from the top mount. I know the top nut is torque correctly (we compared the threading to the left and right at which the passenger side does not knock). do you think maybe it might be the 3 top mount bolts just weren't torqued enough?

Also does anyone have any ideas on how to remove the bottom bolt holding the rear strut? The driver side one is completely stuck. We were able to do the passenger side though. Worst case I'm going to have a shop take care of that one spring install for me. Thanks!
