Is the nut the stock nut or the new one that came with the shock? Maybe they are slightly different? Did you try switching the 2 nuts and see if it might work?

I use to tell my parents and teacher the same thing back in high school.
75% is good, its passing.
JK. you guys did good, you learned the hard way that having the right tools can make a job easy. O on the back shocks not sure where you put the vise grip on the shock but I put it right were the shock body ends and stud starts (top of body) and let it spin into the frame that way I don't have to try and hold / spin two wrenches.
I was going to post a picture for you but I can't find what I want.

The Bilsteins have a soft shock boot and not the metal upper shaft cover like the regular shocks. When we took the old shocks off, we held the metal sleeve and turned the top nut. It was pretty easy. On the Bilsteins there is nothing to hold on to except the upper shock shaft. No friction or grip.
