If the car is misaligned it will cause more disturbances in the steering rack causing more vibrations..Also do a roadforce balance.

Re balance the tires and you should be good, if not the alignment should be adjusted to spec.

So did you get an alignment or not? Alignment isn't just camber adjustment. Your toe is pretty off right now.
