So I bought this ball joint kit:

And the upper ball joint doesn’t look right. Am I doing something wrong or is this the incorrect part? The lower looks good and sits flush.

See that flange on top? As long as that is tight against the C you should be good.

To elaborate..the boot will expand with grease and the ball joint is designed as a floating pin. Nothing to worry about

It is! Thank you. The old ones didn’t look like that so I was nervous
 
With as much rust as you've got on that knuckle...a light coat of antisieze on the hub will make separation and maintenance later on easier.
