Default Moog tie rod ends

The moog tie rod ends came with castle nut and cotter key instead of lock nut and when I torqued down to what I was told was 60-65 ft lbs the cotter key is almost out of the castle nut ?

Bend the key in a position where it simply can't fall out or replace it with a thicker bent nail.
