Greetings All knowing Members

I'm in the process.of changing the exhaust valve springs on a 1984 V65C Moto Guzzzi.
I ordered the Breva Springs suggested, when I started to assemble (yes, I ordered the proper valve/ lapped it, cap& keepers)
The new spring does not fit over the boss on the old bottom cap, it almost fits, there's a keeper above the cap on the valve guide, what is the process of changing the bottom cap or what do you suggest for going forward.?
Thanks in Advance
