Default Upper ball joint bind?

I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem? I have attached pics below of what I'm talking about. Its the upper ball joint on the upper a-arms. I have the BMR tubular arms with the stock ball joints. It also looks like I need to flipped the bolts around so that the head is facing down as its rubbing on the rubber boot. Anyhow, is the bind dangerous? Is it ok to run it like that? I would think after time it would break. I certainly don't want it to snap on the launch as its pretty aggressive off the line. What can I do to fix this? The only thing I could think of is limit the travel. In doing this, I was going to make some limiters and have it where it extends just before bind.
