    Real answer, yes, improper install. But leading up to wheeling yesterday, both side were fine and in proper alignment.

    I guess I just flexed them too much too soon and things went south much faster. Gonna try and fix them today after work

    You're supposed to. It's part of the strut assembly/bushing assembly.

    Option 4) I just flat out screwed up from the beginning
    They're included with the shocks. You're both doing it wrong, even though I did to
    I didn't have any extra parts left over, so that's good lol

    Mine came assembled from Headstrong WITHOUT dust covers, and the instructions from Bilstein also said to leave them off front shocks IIRC.

    That's passenger side, I believe it's fine except the dust boot as you see, isn't where it should be. At the top of the shock shaft
