Seems odd you would have this much of a problem. There is no doubt that they push down and get squeezed a bit between the hood and the battery cover etc. however the cover has some give to it.
You should have left the socket on and just unthreaded the shock out of it.

I had a slight bulge too but the misalignment ( 1 to 2 mm ) was easily corrected with the front aligners. It was like that without the shocks.
Not to insult your intelligence but you did put them on the right way?
Can you post a pic of the bulge?
