Default Coilover top mount seemingly flat?

Finally getting around to dumping my air for coilovers. The coils aren't marked left /right and the top plates don't have near the angle that the oem struts have. I was able to get them installed flush and the ride is greatly improved. I did everything possible to keep the stock ride height but the geometry seems off. I know a little negative camber is typical but I'm getting noise from the tires. Would an alignment fix this?
'09 awd if it matters

If you changed ride height, make sure to check if you need to readjust control arm bushings.

Hey @stopdrpnpro!

I’m looking to get the Ceika coilovers for my 07’ LS600 and was wondering how they’ve lasted since the install.

Also were there any error codes on the dash from the install?

Thanks in advance man!
