Default Upper control arm hitting

So I replaced my driver's side upper control arm and now it's hitting against the inside of the fender. My car is lowered like 1.2 inches. It only does it when I hit a bump or something. I had the car aligned and it still hits. I have an adjustable camber kit. It looks like it is pointing way up then normal, compared to the other side. The right right side is ok. Is there a way to correct this problem? If the right side is ok, shouldn't the alignment shop be able to bring it to the same specs as the right side so it doesn't hit? Are the two sides alignment specs the same?

One more question: can shaving the arm cause problems to it. I did before and I think that's why my ball joint was busted. Am I better off without a freaking camber kit?
