It just sits in there and the weight holds it Jonathon.

Just put it back in. Is the shock off? When they are off, there is more bounce and the spring can extend right to the end of  travel and fall out.

the small cup does not grip it it's more of just a guide for the spring so it does not fall out right?

your small cup is rusted you need to replace it on each side. that is what holds the spring to the control arm.
