Sway Bar yes or no

Got the end links shortened just under 1", tails are level. Upon closer inspection, the LCA tabs elevation the same as LCA pivot point so adjusting ride height will do nothing to improve the head on out of plumb issue with the end links. Stupid to go with this? Seems the end links would end up bending. From earlier discussion I was prepared to see the QA-1 sway bar mounts within 1/2" of plumb however it appears to be closer to 1". See the out of plumb pic. Advice is always nice!
