camber bolt fitting help

[hughesclio]

i went to fit my camber bolts which i purchased off a fellow cs member but when i put them in the top holes of the strut they just wiggle around and do sweet FA.
now am i doing something wrong or are they wrong for my car?
are they the same for all mk2 clios or are they specific for each car?

If I remember correctly they are car - specific, different diameter for different models.

What car were they fitted to?

They look correct from the pics.

Without being patronising, you are aware of how they're meant to be fitted?

to be totally honest it was my friend who did it and he is a pretty good mechanic, if there is a special way to do it then im more than happy to learn the correct way and tell him hes useless lol.
