Try putting the lower seat in, install on lower ball, glue with grease the next seat into the sleeve holding the link horizontal slide it in, then slide the spring in with seat held in place with grease, place on shock ball, glue last seat to adjustment screw with grease and install that, adjust and install cotter pin. If the upper seat want to come off sleeve or spring try holding it with a small screw driver when you pop on the ball. I may have the sleeve and spring switched, put the spring so the grease can pump in.
The installed links have the adjustment screw on top, the ones I have seen anyway.
