The spring should be in compression when the suspension is at full drop. This means the spring and damper should move together without any play/relative movement (one develops force proportional to displacement, the other develops force proportional to velocity but they move together). What you’re describing sounds more like a main spring with zero preload on it. Stock front strut spring has a decent amount of preload. Can you take pictures or a video showing the motion?
