Default Lower A-arm moving after wheels up launch?

I have a BMR k-member w/ lower a arms, I noticed when I got back from the track last friday that the A arm seems to be sliding in the K-member, making the tires stick out on the bottom . The car pulled the wheels about 1.5 ft in the air on the launch and seemed to come down easy. Anyone else run into this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks

I always get the car aligned and then tack weld the bolts to the k-member.

The BMR arms with the bushings do that all the time, do like madman said and tack the bolts after its are aligned on the camber slots. The rod ends on the caster (rear) wont move but the plastic bushing's sleeve is thin it cant hold on to the slot very well and moves.
