so I just had to ask out of curiosity, and this was the official reply
e white plastic bump plate for the rear is the first thing you will slide down over the shocks piston shaft, and it sits on top of the body as shown in the photo below. The front struts do not require the white bump plate because the crimped on silver spring seat, keeps the bump stop from hitting the top guide seal of the damper, unlike in the rear shocks which is why the plastic plate is included. They just help to keep the bump stop from hitting the seal of the shock in deep compressions.
