Angry Hotchkis Upper and Lower A-Arm trouble

I have ordered and in the process of installing Hotchkis Upper and Lower A-Arms and CPP drop spindles in my 69 LWB. The trucks crossmember has been replaced with one from a 72 truck from a previous Disc Brake upgrade. The Upper A-Arms say they are designed to work with 73-87 spindles but say they will work with 71-72 if the upper ball joint is changed. I have changed the upper ball joint with the one they requested, however the upper and ball joints seem to be misaligned with each other with the lower one being about 3 inches farther forward, additionally the center axis of the spindle does not move on a level axis when moved side to side. I have added a photo of this. Any suggestion on this would be greatly appreciated.
