I just replaced all my suspension, torqued, and didn't have the issue. I bring it up because I torqued with the suspension full droop, but i hadn't torqued the upper mounts down yet.
I wouldn't weld on the shock. Call wherever you got it from and see if they would swap it out. I agree it could have been a defective part. maybe you can get it swapped or get another for a discount given the circumstances.
