For that amount it is probably just the free-play in the strut to knuckle bolts. Loosen the two bolts on the passenger side, then push inwards on the strut. It should tilt in, giving you more negative camber on the passenger side. Since you are lowered etc I assume you won't mind a little more negative camber than stock. This can also be done at the alignment shop, but most places likely won't do it as part of a regular alignment (I do if I think it is required).

It is a good idea to always push in on both sides when you do struts. This way you *should* have even camber side to side.

Cheers.

PS: make sure that the weight is off the strut when you loosen the bolts. Otherwise you won't be able to move it. Should be jacked under the frame/body

Load the driver side strut using a jack prior to tightening
