Default Em1 slow to respond steering/suspension..coils in

hi there im having trouble with my car at the moment. im coming off a little wipe out and just got done changing out the LEFT axle, LCA, lower ball joint, rear left lca (just the bar one). it all looks good and clean job. I also just went ahead and had some PIC apex coils installed. I took the car to get "aligned" but it only help not fix my issues of...

-when driving straight its slow to respond to my light steers to the left&right..

-when coming out of a turn, the wheel still holds until i kinda pull for it to turn, it doesnt go back or "assist" like before.

-Is it my coilovers?..smarts guys at the shop that installed my right side coils didnt tighten the upper nut for nothing or the 2 that hold the strut up...idk man..haha so i tighted them all up nice and tightly. Im not sure btw what tightening them does or the what the screw with an allen wrench top does either..can anybody enlighten me..?? l

maybe they didnt do a good alignment job?? i also have a missing stud on my front left wheel...the rear left wheel looks a little slanted top in...or maybe its my eyes since the car is sitting low with no finger gap...a little tuck/flushness.
I must admit though at higher speeds, which i dont even feel or notice now with this suspension, it does hug...even at lower speeds but it just doesnt feel right like before...
