Default spc adjustable balljoint help

Finally getting around to putting the spcs on my ex knuckles for 91 crx. I had the old balljoints pressed out at napa, and i'm installing the adjustable balljoints.

Not sure that i have the plate on the underside of the uca on correctly/straight. If i look at it from the top, the seam looks tight and its on as far as it will go all the way around. But once i put the balljoint on its slants to the side quite a bit. Is this how its suppose to be or is the plate on there incorrectly? I tried to get as many pictures as i could to show whats going on....

(nothing has been tightened up yet)

I'd guess that tightening the very top nut should get ride of the angle in the joint

It look to me that the slotted spacer is supposed to be flush with the hole. Ie pressing it in, or using a dremal or whatever means to opent he whole so it fits inside of the hole then using the other washer and bolt on the top to compress it inside said hole.

I looked at your pics and the pics of the ball joint an it just looks like it is supposed to be flushin the hole witht he part where the ball joint slides int he groove against the bottom of the arm.
