Konis installed, but worried about the rears

So I had Koni yellows installed yesterday along with some powerflex rsfb inserts. Still running my stock 2012 M-sport springs. The thing that worries me is that the range of rebound adjustment on the rears seemed to be different. One of the rears could be adjust 2.5 turns from full soft. The other one only seemed to have a range of 1.5 turns and I didn't want to force it and risk damaging anything. I ended up setting one of them to 1 turn from full soft and the other one 1.25 turns. I did this because they seemed to decompress at the same speed with these settings. I didn't really have any better ideas. Will this be a bad idea? Should I uninstall and send them in to Koni? The rear feels fine so far while driving. Any input is appreciated.

Rears are easy enough to remove that I would call Koni and proceed with an exchange if they concur. You should not have to force anything for the adjustment when new.
