If I remember correctly, mine, on two different bikes (CB750K, and the Voyager XII), stuck out a bit, prior to putting the caps on.  I had the tubes fully extended, with a jack under the engine, holding the front wheel off of the floor.

Relax.  See what you have when you install them; fill them with the proper amount of oil/ATF Fluid (this can be a challenge, read the instructions carefully, then read them again, and...  guess), cap them off, then take it for a short, careful, test ride.

Cheers!
