Default Wheel alignment thoughts 2008 Is350

I just got a wheel alignment on my Is350. I got about 43,000 miles out of the front tires, but with a lot of inner tire wear. They likely should have been replaced around 35,000 miles. The front left toe was out of spec, that looks good now. I'm worried they didn't put enough toe in on the front right side, and for some reason actually took .01 degree out.

The rear is within spec for toe, but seems to be on the higher end of toe in. However I haven't seemed to have any issues with rear tire wear.
The right rear camber is a bit odd though. I know there's no adjustability on these cars, but what would cause a 1 degree difference?
I'm trying to decide if I want to take it back and have them take another look at these concerns, it was definitely a quick alignment.
Is it worth by time to go back in, or would you leave as is?

Your image is blocked from my connection. But as for inner tire wear, reading around the forum seems to point to the poor stock LCA bushings. That's what the RRacing USRS is supposed to be for.

I ended up taking it back, they set toe to .04 in on both sides front, and .13 in both sides rear.

Seems to drive a bit better.
