I was trying out my newly acquired spring compressor and I think I messed up the procedure somewhere

I slid the plates into the spring, the one with fat opening in the bottom the smaller opening on top, inserted the telescopic compressor into the holes on the plates, and I cranked away

the spring got compressed so much that the top of the spring dislodged from the top spring perch, the compressor treaded rod is pushing (off center) on the top spring perch and the lower control arm is pushed down by the compressor

if I loosen up the compressor the bottom spring perch will be locked in the lower control arm, and if I tighten it up the control arm will be pushed down

I have no clue how I can remove the compressor now

what if I fully compress the spring with the compressor, let the compressor take *most* of the spring's force and remove the lower control arm bolt? I know it'll be forced down quite harsh but with the compressor in place it shouldn't be too harsh?

here is a adobe illustrator image of what has happened (MSPaint is for cheaper car problems)

I really need to get the spring compressor out of here asap I need the car tomorrow!!!!
