Default Koni Coilover question

I just bought a used set of Koni Coilover. I noticed that the shocks didn't go back to extended position when I pushed it down. I actually had to pull it out to return it to the extended position. Is it normal?

Also, how to adjust the damping on the rear shocks?

Default It is normal

I took a small allen key. At the top of the shock you put it in the little holes.
