Default Progressive front lowering help

finishing up installing my as bolt on neck and needing to swap out my lowering kit as it was setup with a 2" drop when I got it. I took everything apart and drained the fork oil as I want to make sure im running a heavier weight. when I pulled the lower pin I was shocked to see that on one side I had 3 small springs and on the other there was only 2...?

so for me to go to just 1" of drop im assuming I need to only run 2 small springs on the lower pin and then install the main spring or do I need to run a plastic spacer to get the desired ride height or am I good to go with just the 2 small spring and the one large main one? thanks
