SPC adjustable Camber Plates shifting out of position?

A few days ago I had some SPC/Eibach adjustable camber plates installed on my R53. A full alignment was performed and both front wheels were set to -1.0 camber. I just popped the hood and noticed that the camber plates were both shifted towards the driver's side of the car, which means that the front driver's side wheel has almost no camber, while the passenger's side wheel has a lot of negative camber.

Has anyone had a similar experience of the adjustable camber plates shifting out of position only after a few days of normal driving conditions? I am assuming this is not a problem, and it is just a matter of improper installation or tightening of bolts and what not. Needless to say I'll be taking it back to the shop for re-alignment.

Sounds like it wasn't tightened down.

I'm thinking the same thing, but I just went to tighten them and everything was tight and snug.
