Popping noise when turning wheel with swift springs

I need help. I just finished installing Swift springs (sport mach) on my IX MR (stock Blisten struts) and I'm experiencing a popping noise when turning the wheel all the way to the left side. The vehicle rides good and I don't hear any noises when I go over bumps or damage asphalt. It seems that the noise it's coming only from the drivers side strut only when turning left. I took it apart twice and I made sure that the spring sat correctly on the strut. I made sure that everything was lubricated and all the bolts are torqued correctly. What else could have caused this noise. My evo only has 9300 miles and I never had any suspension issue before this. Thanks for any advices.

The top perch and bottom perch of the strut are not lined up right. Make sure the hole in both lines up (top and bottom).

Inspect the struct hat. Look for any odd wear signs.

I checked both perches on the strut and the whole do lined up to each other. I also notice that both perches have about four wholes each, would it matter to which whole is lined up with? When I installed the spring on the strut I when based on the old mark left by the stock spring on the top perch. I hope this make sense.
