I may be wrong, but I found if I put a wrench on the nut that holds down the hat on the strut, they spin freely, but don't tighten.
That's normal.

The end of the strut shaft should have flat spots on it so that you can put a wrench over the shaft to keep it from rotating while you tighten the nut.

Others have a big hex-head hole on the top that you put an allen-key wrench into.

If those aren't tight, that could absolutely be what is causing your issue, the spring could be unloading on bumps.
