Front wheel alignment SPC camber bolt

I dont know what i did wrong, all i did was try to alighn the wheels straight and now my steering wheel is crooked. The H symbol is cooked to the left (steering wheel is slightly turned left when wheels are straight)

What did i do wrong. and i tried to take the camber bolts out and put the stock bolts out and i CANT. Ahh....i dont want to spend More money. i just called ntb and they want 59.99 to do alignment.

look above the pedals and you can adjust the steering wheel after to have the wheels straight.

BlackIce is an unknown quantity at this point
I thought you had to get an alignment once you installed the camber kit. Wouldnt it be a good thing to do anyway...?

what's the specific process to aligning the steering wheel straight? My car is aligned proper but the steering wheel aint, and the damn dealership said "we can't make it straight, sir."

it appears in the diagram that it a clamp type tightener
with a groved patter in the clamp and on the shaft.
just unbolt pry it open a little
get it where you want it
and bolt tight I would guess.
