Issues with CPP tubular upper control arm

I'm stumped so decided it was time to ask the community. I've got the front end of my truck back together on my 67 with 2.5" drop spindles, ECE 1.5" drop springs, stock lower control arms and CPP tubular upper control arms. When I installed the CPP tubular control arms I didn't install the factory shims between them and the frame because I could tell they were longer than the stock upper control arm. After I got the stock lower control arms, drop spindles and other suspension and steering parts installed and the truck back on the ground I noticed the wheels have a lot of positive camber. With the drop spring installed the lower control arm is at a slight angle past parallel to the ground but the control arm is parallel to the ground. This causes the top of the spindle to be pushed out. The blue lines in the image attached should help explain this.

As I mentioned I don't have any shims installed on the upper control arm so I can't move the upper control arm any closure to the frame. I'm not sure what to do, any suggestions??
