Noob in need of help

Hello i hope someone can help as I am quite inexperienced so bare with me here

I am installing coil overs to my civic I did one on the front then two on the back for whatever reason, anyways now the back right side is on a jack stand while the left rear is on blocks of wood as it is lower than the right side due to the fact the front passenger side still has the stock shocks...
it’s been pretty cold this week so I stopped and have been probably overthinking this so I decided to post here for potential advice, I am worried that lowering the car to the ground in the back could be sketchy since the car is tilted to the left (including crossmember), my head suggests there could be a potential weight shift of some sort?
I have a hydraulic floor jack so anyone have an idea if it is sketchy or not? My hopes would be that when I jack the crossmember it slowly straightens with the jack... Im very paranoid about something going wrong so I would appreciate any suggestion or advice..
Trying to stay safe rather that sorry so anything helps!
thank you!

car year/model please
Fix from mistake, install remaining fronts, then go thinking about BIAS on the rear.

Re: Noob in need of help

finish the front first.
Obviously the higher right front will lower the left rear. No point in asking if there is a lower Left rear.
Judge that after all 4 corners are done.

If rears are not finished, finish them, install remaining front. Then check leverage between corners.
