I don't think I explained it well.

The support, which I circled in the diagram above, is NOT in the strut-tower hole. It is raised above the strut tower about 1.5", and makes NO contact with the metal below. This means that the strut can wiggle around in that hole because there's no support.

Yes, I completely understand and that is completely normal. That support doesn't center the strut in the housing, the strut is centered by the lower rubber support from underneath. The upper "support" that is sticking out is only used to keep the strut from pulling out of the car when the car is raised in the air. Hopefully someone else with coilovers who has access to the car will take a pic?
