Load question

[J48chevy]

I just put the springs in my mustang 2 front and the upper control arm is hitting the spring. Now I know there is no load on this yet, I did stand on front and know it will move and not hit, but my question is, can I leave it like this for a while without damaging anything or should I pull the springs back out?

Also, I could not get the shock to line up and install as well due to this, is that common without any load on the front?
