Bilstein 5100s installed - Something doesn't seem right

Today I had bilstein 5100s installed on my 2020 Rebel by a local shop. At the time they also put in Readylift UCAs. The front passenger side from ground to mid fender flare is about 0.75" taller than the rear. I understood that the 5100s would leave a slight rake, but I now have a slight squat. Also, the front passenger side is higher than the front driver side by about 0.5". Here are two pics of the 5100s installed. Do any of you see anything wrong with the install? Again, this is on a 2020 Rebel (non air ride). Everything else is stock. Just trying to figure out why my truck is now a little nose high and taller on the passenger side.

In doing a little more research, it looks like the spring seat adapter was used but as I understand it that is not supposed to be used on the Rebel. Can anyone confirm?

Any help is appreciated.

This happened to me, very common. The aluminum perch should not be installed on the rebel, it already has it.

Appreciate the input guys. A follow up question: When I take it back to the shop to have them remove the adapter, does the truck need another alignment? Just want to make sure I have all of the info I need before going back. Thanks again.

I would at least have them check the alignment, I know most shops in my area will check it for free and charge if you wanted it aligned. I’d ask for a printout to make sure everything is good.
