it looks like they have integrated race, which means you don't need the bottom spacer of the headset try taking it off and let the bearing sit on the fork. edit** ignore last post take your forks off and the remove the black race on the bottom of the fork.
so i put my headset in my headtube then slid in my fork and it seems really loose, do i need a new fork or can i make that fit somehow?

I had the same problem. To resolve it i had a friend sit on my tyre while the bike was upside down and tightened the stem. To make it extra secure i found a longer bolt that had the same threas as the initial headset and tightened that worked perfect ever since.
thats my bike, its fine to do, you can preload it then just take it out but thats pointless, my preload bolt broke so i've gone without for allllong time with no issues. All you need to go is get a clamp, i use a carpenter one (the kind you use to let glue set in joints and such), you have to wedge the clamp under your fork drop out and on top of your stem, first make sure everythings straight, 2nd tighten the clamp as hard as you can without breaking anything, tighten your stem bolts to a reasonable tightness and remove the clamp. It's worked fine for me and i don't even notice its missing, this is the problem with your fork, the lack of preloading your headset is giving your headset a jiggle.
whenever i put my fork on its used to jiggle around and than i lifted up the frame and pushed the fork in and that help because when i had it standing it wasnt going straight in the headtube so it was wiggling because ther was still extra space.

tighten the top bolt first then tighten the bolts in the stem.
