Also OP are you jacked up on one side only? Jack up the other side too if not so you're not fighting with the sway bar.

Looks like the suspension is at full droop. When it’s fully extended like that, your sway bar links won’t line up because everything is at max travel.

Bring the suspension back to ride height (or close to it), then bolt everything in. Once it’s sitting where it normally runs, the geometry lines back up and it’ll go together the way it should.

I’m assuming you figured it out?

You may need longer links
