SPL Camber Arm adjustments

Yesterday, I installed swift springs and SPL rear camber arms with toe bolts. I didn't notice the instructions that came with the camber arms until I was cleaning up today.

Default SPL Camber Arm adjustments

Yesterday, I installed swift springs and SPL rear camber arms with toe bolts. I didn't notice the instructions that came with the camber arms until I was cleaning up today. I just adjusted them out to match the stock arms.

The directions show that the adjustment in the larger section shouldn't be adjust out more than 3/4". Mine were ~1-1/4". I didn't think too much of it because I was taking it to get an alignment today and would have them fix it.

I took the instruction sheet with me to get the alignment and explained what I did. When I get it home, I check and it is still extended out 1-1/4". Should I be concerned? Has anyone taken one of these arms apart? How far down the arm does the larger threaded section extend?

I don't track the car and generally don't push it too hard, but there are those occasions. I have the lifetime alignment, so I will probably just take it back and get it adjusted properly, but it's a hassle and need to know if this is a major point of concern. I was planning to take it back in a month after the springs had settled. Is it ok to put a couple hundred miles on it like this? It currently looks similar to the first picture with the X on it.

Here is the sheet I'm referring to and a copy of my alignment specs.
