SPL midlinks, Help?!

So I finally got around to installing my rear suspension goodies (AST 5200's, SPL camber arms, and SPL midlinks) and for some reason have a huge binding issue on the rear passenger side. I installed the driver's side goodies first with little to no problems but when I got to the passenger side I did the camber arm first, no problem. Then when I went to do the midlink I had what seemed like the fight of my life to get the midlink connected at the knuckle (I connected the chassis side first). Now the adjuster on the midlink doesn't want to turn, atleast not without me being concerned I might strip the thread (spun free before installation). Also with the car on the ground the passenger side rear has some of the worst toe in I've ever seen.

fwiw, springs are 900lb/in, 7" free length

Any suggestions on things to check, or something I may have done wrong would be appreciated.
