... it didn't before with no/low fluid? Hmmm...

If the parts were re-assembled in the proper order and 12 oz (or SM spec) of Type E, maybe weak springs?
We're all A-holes. It's to what degree that makes us different.

Back in 1992 at the factory police service school that issue was referred to as Fluid Lock. Once the oil is compressed as far as possible it acts and sounds like it's solid.
