Even though the notch in the sleeve doesn't fit over the mounting flange, you should still be OK. The sleeve will be sitting a little lower that it should, about 2 threads worth. You'll probably still have enough adjustment range. You will need to hold the sleeve to keep it from turning when you adjust the coil height nut.
How's the other end? Hopefully the sleeve doesn't interfere with the lower mounting bolt otherwise it's a bigger problem.

Grind the sleeve notch a little to get it to sit flush.
