If indeed you have the upper coil seated properly in that 'D' configuration, the bottom coil tail should be in that groove. This coil looks like a half wrap short making it a 3" drop coil. One wrap being 2" as a rule of thumb. I know its tough to photo, but if you could pix that upper coil pigtail in its proper seat, that will greatly help. BELLTECH may have had a coil mislabeled/numbered & sent you an incorrect pair. Also lay the new coil on it's side & measure it total length (pix) then lay it along side your stock coil & pix it too. Thanks.
