Discard those cover plates. You don't need them and all they do is hold the boot in place at its lower end.
Are you sure you got SRT-4 rear strut housings and not Neon strut housings by accident? I was one of the first to put Konis on an ACR version and nobody knew about the car (except for Rallyfreak). It turns out ACRs use standard Neon strut dimensions and Konis for Neons fit perfectly, not SRT-4 inserts. The rear SRT-4 inserts are about an inch too long for Neon Strut bodies.
You should be able to tell by comparing the location of the spring perches relative to the clevis brackets. Neon spring perches will be about an inch lower than SRT-4 perches.
