It's not janky. That's normal for most struts. Clamping force is what primarily holds the spindle and strut together in the same position, and the amount of load you see on the street or track shouldn't cause the hardware to slip, if they are torqued correctly.

The machined inserts in MCS (and also AST/Moton) struts are just like a back-up in case it slips under extremely high load. You still don't want to rely on the bolt shank itself to take the load - shear load is not where it is strongest.
