Check your valve covers and make sure they're not leaking down to your headers. Make sure no air pump tubing is leaning up against the headers if your talking about the passenger side too... Make sure your wires are out of the way too. If the smoke isn't getting worse let the car run for a minute and see if ti burns off, could be..

Well I took a flashlite out with me and didn't see any wires touching my headers but after letting my car run for about 10 minutes i noticed something quite.. bad... the smoke didn't stop couldn't realy tell if it was dieing down, but the boots around that side'ss spark plugs got a white marking on them as if it was getting too hot, and they where hot to the touch which my spark plugs on the other side wasn't even warm...

I mean maybe I happened to install all the spark plugs wrong on that side.. I mean it isn't likely but its possable. Could this be happening if I didnt screw them in allllll the way? I am sure I did but just checking..

This wouldn't cause the smoke, I don't think, but if the spark plug caps are not seated all the way, they would get pretty hot from arcing to the plug.
