Question regarding struts

Good Evening everyone. I have a question regarding the struts in my Mini. I had both strut mounts replaced due to one side completely broke. I bought KYB strut mounts to replace the old ones. Before replacing the mounts the the struts seemed to be below the holes on the mini now once they were replaced with the new mounts. Well they are above the mounts like small mountains now and I’m wondering if I need to replace the struts themselves due to them being bad. Can anyone help me if I’m wrong?
