rear strut question

im installing my rear struts (kyb agx w/sportlines) and having a hell of a time tightening down the center lock nut. when i apply any torque to the nut, the strut rod rotates. i purchased a strap wrench to hold the strut rod, and that seems to have helped, however i am not able to secure the nut down as far as it was when stock.





that is as far as im able to tighten. when i pulled it off there was more like an inch of bolt protruding. the fsm says 13-17 ft lbs, but i put more torque than that to get it that far.
