Default Bmr drag bar problem?

So I just finished install on the bmr drag bar yesterday, I ran into a couple issues.. First when setting the end links in a neutral position like the instructions said I could get the driver side in the neutral position but the passenger side I had to shorten the end link as much as possible just to get the bolt through. So my two end link settings are different lengths right now which is weird.

problem number two is, I went for a test drive after getting everything installed and now once I hit about 85 mph the steering wheel and the car starts shaking pretty bad and now the car pulls to the left. And before anyone says alignment issue, I literally just got an alignment and my suspension completely adjusted two weeks ago and had zero issues before installing the bmrn tirol drag bar. Anyone has any suggestions or ideas let me know thank you

Oh also, roll bar was installed with Jack Stands on the axle tubes 2 simulate a load being on the car. And I put the sway bar level with the ground. I've seen some people say put it level with the control arm but that's what I did because that's what the instructions said was to have the sway bar level with the ground
