Raised front suspension and camber issue

Hi all my 82 z has had the front raised for clearance of the hedman longtubes on my seriously steep driveway, also will be upgrading to weld pro stars in couple of weeks with 28" rear tire and 25.5" front so it will sit level.

Problem is the wheels sit at a funny angle and it dont look like i have any more adjustment on my top strut plates. can i make new slots or something similar??

I have also have J&M CC plates, but if I'm not mistaken, Founders are the EXACT same thing but cheaper.
