Default Front not level after coil over install

I installed a set of QA1 struts over winter but, Passenger side is about 1 to 2 inches lower than driver side with springs adjusted the same any Idea why so large of a difference?

Actually thought about that that was with me out of car so it should be closer with me in it. Also even with the bearings under the coil and car jacked up you really have to crank thsoe spanners.

Has the car been driven since the install?
Try setting the shocks to full soft, then push down really hard on the shock towers around 5 times, remeasure and see how far off it is then.
