Call prostreet and contact omni I called them a few days ago and they seem like really nice people they offered to simply replace my parts.Contact them and send them a pic I am sure they will replace it with no problem.

What is the problem in the pic?

Is the arm bent?

I don't see anything "broken"

its possible that you have them on the wrong side? like left on right and right on left? would put additional loads where it not need be.

they've been on the car for atleast a month, but the whole time it was on jack stands cause i was changing out the two lower ball joints and two lca bushings. when i finished putting the camber kit on i drove to an alignment shop and was told there was no point in getting one cause of the lca bushings, so i went straight back home and put the car on stands

as others said it looks like it topped out in the fender well and got smooshed. If thats the case and the car stays really low it will happen again.
