Cutting the pipe couplers to length is fine.
The strut tube will hold the inset in the correct orientation so where the coupler actually touches(even if its askew on a weld) wont ultimately matter. If its worth the time to you you can reprofile the coupler to fit around the weld.
This is a steel pipe coupler that you are using? If it is, the thickness will be fine to be used as a spacer. Remember, the weight of the car isnt supported by the insert(or spacer) just the spring and the strut body.
