Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers

Installed a set of coilovers, in the front the driver side camber plate is diagonal. Instead of facing left and right across the engine bay it is facing the windshield and corner of the car. I've seen a couple different posts about it on other forums but they were old posts and photo's no longer worked. Is this normal or can I rotate the plate until it is like the passenger side camber plate?

This isn't my car obviously but is an example of what i'm talking about.

You installed it wrong. Orient the top plate so that it is correct..

Just rotating the plate will correct the issue? With how it is currently, would that be used to give more caster rather than camber? Just so I understand, Evo's and coilovers in general are new to me. Thank you for the response.

You should be able to get the plate in correctly and rotate the assembly until it aligns with the knuckle.

All you need to do is rotate the top plate. The way it is in that pic would effect caster and you would likely never get the car to align correctly.
