Hello matey. As far as i know the damper mounts onto the main frame by the big thread on the left hand side. The other end mounts to the left hand fork leg. there should be a large round ring that fits on the leg and tightens up with an allen bolt. You can only fit on that end of the damper by removing the top yoke ans sliding it on. didnt you get any fitting instructions?

Hope that helps :)

This should basically be what you get. Sounds like you have the mounting ring missing?
