Bone head Tbar question and issues

I'm embarrassed to even say what I've done but it is what it is.

73 Demon (Dart Sport but I hate that name) that should have had the 4bbl V8 Tbars (.870 diameter) on it. So I decide to use /6 bars (.810 diameter) bars like I've done before. Buy a set from a member here. They show up and look good.

I install the bars and I can't get the ride height even close. It's way too low. Looks good but it's sitting on the bump stops. So I decide to go back to what I thought were the OE bars and live with it. So I clean up the bars, paint them and get ready to remove the /6 bars. I measured what I thought was the OE bars but they measure 2bbl V8 size(.850 diameter). So the car didn't have the OE bars to begin with.

So I pull the left side /6 bar out and have a look. The moron who installed the bars put the left on the right and the right on the left. I'd slap the crap out of the installer but I'm opposed to self abuse. Damn.

So now my questions since I've proved I'm a dumb ***.

1. Will having the bars on the wrong side make it so I can't get the ride height correct?

2. Did I damage the bars any? They have been installed with weight on them for 12-14 months but actual miles on them while installed wrong is ~20.

What do you think. Should I put the /6 bars back on the correct side and see if I can get the ride height? Or did I wreck them? Or should I just put in known bars and say screw it.

Thanks in advance.
