The top hat does not hit the bump stop unless the travel is most extreme (like hitting a huge bump or pot hole).

The stock suspension has something in the region of 20mm off travel before the bump stop engages. If you lower by 15mm and don’t change the bump stops to shorter version you’re now at 5mm before engagement.
Do some more reading about it. Modern suspension systems are designed with a compressible bump stop and the bump stop is in use a lot more than you would think. The basic concept is that the bump stop is used to create a variable rate spring that reduces body roll by firming up rapidly under compression around turns.
