Did you do a test fit on everything with it just tacked together? It looks to me like the top spring mount is to far out. We always tacked in the lower section and assembled the suspension to verify the position at ride height and to mount the top bracket. Once all tacked in then check the reaction of the suspension through the travel for things like camber changes or toe changes that would adversely affect the way it drove. The ones we did used coil overs so not a problem with the position of the spring bucket. They need to be the correct distance from the control arm at ride height. I would not put a shorter arm on it to correct this. The first thing I would do is set the chassis at ride height front and rear. Set the center line of the spindle at the correct height based on the wheel and tire combination and take a look at the lower control arm and the rack to ensure they are where they need to be. This should be done with upper control arm loose and a square on the rotor to set it at 0 camber. If that all looks ok then work out a plan to get upper bracket moved to the correct position. If the lower does not look right when set up at ride height it may be the part that is off.
