I don't see how anyone who works on cars would think the castle nut should be on top, yet alone someone who fixes cars for a living.

I mean, has he ever even seen a front end with the tire off!?

Do you still have the old ones? Compare the length. Really the only way this can happen is if you have the wrong part.
