After literally months of searching and waiting, I've finally managed to get a replacement rear shock for my Spark RC (MY2019) but had to change from Fox to RS and noticed a couple of changes

The top eyelet on the shock comes with an axel and 2 plastic washers, I presume this is to press through the DU bush and install the plastic washers on each end to install into the linkage ,does anyone know if this is correct? The fox had 2 IG bushes and 2 black tophat washers. Does any have any experience of the difference, is the IGUS set up better/worse?

At the bottom, trunnion -frame end, I'm not sure if I have lost some washers (though bought a complete swingarm refurb kit). Currently I have - from outside to inside on the fame - Bolt, Bush mounted in the frame - black top hat loaded from the inside - shock (then the same at the other side) however there appears to be a 1mm gap/clearance each side of the shock to the frame/tophat, is this correct? (hopefully shown in the attachement)
