Help!

I'm having an issue with building a new shock.
Whenever I test my rebound, on contraction, I get the desired 2mm, but on extension, the piston rebounds almost all the way in.

I let the shock sit for 20 min to get air out before screwing on the shock cap. The shock is filled with oil so that when I contract the piston to the half point, the shock bleeds oil. I stopped roughly 2mm from the top and screwed in the bleed screw.

I noticed there was only 2 o-rings for each shock. I put one on the top of the shock's bottom threads and one on the bottom of the shock's top threads. I didn't see an o-ring for inside the shock cap itself, then again the instructions didn't show one.

I've followed numerous Youtube videos of the TLR factory racers rebuilding their shocks with no luck. The videos helped on my 22 3.0 but for some reason the same tricks are working on my 22-4 2.0.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
