Hard to say with pic angles but looks like you have a crazy amount of negative caster.
You mite be right, damn thing crazy all over, I had guy install upper arms and disc brakes , cheep 700 parts and labor ,I already had shocks , I was lazy and knew I should have done myself ,but here we are front was wore out and had drum brakes ,
After he finished, heck It was worse, I don’t blame him , I’m the cheep *** ,can’t half *** and think it’s going to be better , so now I’m rebuilding lower arm ,struts , torsion bars , brake lines and master ,, was thinking I mite change brake kit?

I believe it's the spindles that are on the wrong side.
No not wrong side ,caliber would be facing the wrong way , I know what’s wrong with it LCA wore out , torsion bar , no rubber in sway bar , one side rubber gone in strut ,, can’t just replace UCAs shocks and disc,need to replace everything,
 
I believe it's the spindles that are on the wrong side.
That does not matter. You can get the alignment within spec either way. I have had them mounted both ways and still obtained plenty of caster.
Something is wrong though. The upper ball joints are way too far forward to get any positive caster. Maybe the alignment cams are set to max negative caster?
I don't see any tilt to the upper ball joint mounts. That is part of the anti-dive.
