camber alignment after shocks and rear sway bar

I had a local shop do the shocks and rear sway bar for my 2009 clubman S.
They are a good honest shop but not familiar with minis.They could not get my camber alignment correct after install.

Looking at the upper strut mounts from the engine bay, it looks like the bolts were shifted slightly. Could they also have shifted the rear when lowering the subframe?Is this a potential cause of my camber problems? Intuitively it seems so, but I'm not an expert.

LF: -0.7
RF: -0.1 ***
LR: -2.3 ***
RR -1.7
