Cant adjust camber SPC

I installed the spc A-arm and can not reach the top nut to adjust camber even with car fully off the ground. the the a arm sits too high into the wheel well and there is not enough gap to fit a wrench or socket in there. anyone have this problem and know a fix? here is a picture of what it should look like.

see how there is a sufficient enough gap. i have no gap. car rides great and smooth. i am dropped 2"

This is what mine looks like

Looks like there's plenty of room for a wrench.

This is just a guess from looking at the pics you posted. The blue car is yours correct?
Looking at the coilover it looks like you have about 2" or less of shock travel. Did you happen to use the top locking collars (at the bottom of the spring) to lower your car and not the bottom? If you moved the top locking collars (for preload) down 2" inches that would prevent your shock from extending and thus your wheel not dropping down like it whould when the car is lifted off the ground.

Disregard my post, my thought process if flawed.

i used the bottom locking collars to lower the car. i did use the top locking collars to put a little tension on the spring so there was no play when full extended with no load. but that was just a minimal amount.
