Alignment issue after lowering with H&R springs


I just lowered my car with H&R springs and alignment afterwards, it is pulling to the right now.
During the springs install the front camber bolts were also replaced. Attached is the alignment specs now and can anybody chime in what is the possible solution and/or measurement for this issue? Thanks!

Validate the camber bolts were installed correctly. They have slots and are easy to have them turned a certain way that only one slot is in. Easy way to check is that the bolts have a line on the head. It has to be in line with the arm.

After that is checked, install another slotted bolt in the passenger only side thrust (caster) arm. Push passenger wheel forward and set toe.

Problem fixed.

That's also a shìtty alignment. That rear toe is way out side to side. Even if everything else was perfect it would rear steer you to the right.

I would take it somewhere else if whoever did it sent you home like that.

what?! No. That would be dumb. Camber is not adjustable. Toe is always adjustable.

Thanks. I knew front but thought that I read rear wasn’t but that would be dumb. However it is absurd that camber isn’t adjustable.
