Please help, rear camber on '08 r56s

I need help on figuring out the camber issue on my 08 r56. The rear left wheel had a significant amount of negative camber compared to the rear right wheel. I took the wheel off and adjusted the camber via the adjustable control arm. It was even with the rear right wheel for about a day of light driving then it went back to how it was before I adjusted it. I checked to see if the 12 point bolt on the lower control arm was loose and t wasn't. The control arm isn't bent or anything, it all looks normal. Is there something I can do to fix this issue? Thanks

Check the rear upper shock mounts and also check the rear springs for sagging or a broken spring.

Rear upper shock mounts and smooshing of the stock foam.
