Default Crooked Lowering Job

Hey guys about 2 weeks ago i through a set of 1.5" racecraft drop coils in my 01 gt. Everything went fine but shes sitting a lil crooked right now. Seems like the back passenger side is higher than the drivers.
Could it be the spring turned on reassembly of the rear end. If i remember the pig tail on each spring is suppose to be pointing to the driver side for the rear install. If that turned a lil on reassembly would it raise the rear a bit????

any help would be awesome guys

ya guys always talk about the springs being seated correctly i havnet lowered ne thing yet but if the spring isnt seated correctly it could cause this problem i guessing there is a nothc where the top or bottom of the spring lines up with and it needs to be resting in this notch

Jack the rear up and check. I put both of mine facing the back to level it out.
