rear shackle/leaf spring issue

[Low_Life86]

ok i just posted about this but i wanted to see if there was anyone else who could give me a hand here. i removed my old leaf springs got new and identical ones but when i took the old ones out the shackles were under a lot of pressure and instead of being on an angle they shot up to almost verticle so now it looks like my leafs are to short when i pry on the shackle it moves the leaf foreword but im still a tad short anyone got an idea of what it could be. heres some pics
