Default Bent front strut for 2011 civic sedan

So I replaced my front springs but can't seem to mount the front strut because it seems that strut mount is bent a bit it's really hard to explain, but the the 3 threads won't all go into the holes two of them will fit prefect but one doesn't wanna go in because it's bent has anyboy experienced anything like this before? I would appreciate the help

Are you talking about the piece at the top? Have you tried rotating it to all 3 possible positions? The holes may not be an exact symmetric triangle so it will only fit one way.

top strut mounts need to be properly indexed there should be an arrow that needs to face forward towards the bumper.

Yes it was the top mount it was bent so the mount would not fit in the three holes correctly I had to buy a complete new one but thanks for replying really appreciate it
