Default 2000 ss camaro

Hello first time posting I have a 2000 ss camaro I just got bmr tubular k member and bmr tubular adjustable lower control arms and bmr tubular upper control arms. Car drove straight as an arrow before install now I got the car back and it's pulling to the left hard guy that did the work didn't give me this alignment sheet but luckily I went up day before pickup and seen it in the window and snapped a pic of it. Any ideas on what is at fault here definitely looks camber and castor are way off and rear toe needs some work but would this be on the alignment shop or on the person who installed my new tubular suspension components? Any help is appreciated thank you guys

That looks like "before" measurements but I see it says current. I would take it some place that knows what they're doing, for street alignment should be around -.5 camber, around +4 or more caster and both sides should be very close. The only thing they did was toe and sadly too many shops are doing that these days.

if I have the adjustable lower control arms and tubular k member would they be able to be adjusted while on the vehicle? Alignment is pretty far out so wasn't sure if to your knowledge that the control arms would need to be taken off and shimmed and stuff?

Won't know if it's on-car adjustable without knowing which exact products you bought. Some of the arms have to be disconnected to be adjusted as the threaded ends can only be adjusted off-car.
I DM'd you a link with some front-end alignment specs from back in the day.
Also if your rear alignment is all out of whack (e.g. a broken bushing on a rear LCA, bent LCA, bent panhard rod) then that can cause pulling/crabwalk issues too.
Get some on-car adjustable rear LCA's and an on-car adjustable rear Panhard Rod. If the car is lowered, consider some rear LCA relocation brackets too to fix the geometry which will reduce wheel hop.
Find a shop that will do a four wheel alignment, with a modern electronic alignment system that uses sensors that clamp to the wheels/tires.
Racecar-oriented alignment shops should be able to get it aligned properly too.
