Default SPC toe bolt washers?

okay guys, so i recently installed kw coilovers and also did the spc camber arm/ toe bolt install. (yes i elongated the holes on both sides)

I then got a allignment.

The only problem is, the toe still feels weird. I can feel my car ever so slightly fish tailing.

In all the guides i've read it shows the washer sitting up like this between the two metal tabs,

Is it essential for the washer to be facing up to be seated between the two tabs?

my bolts aren't facing straight up like that and i think thats why it's slightly fish tailing, or am i just stupid and it doesn't matter?

Pictures of my bolts (sorry they're shitty pictures)

It's normal. The washer will only be pushing off the tabs when they're being adjusted. When it's tightened down, the bolt isn't relying on the tabs. How's the readout on the alignment? If it's ok, best look elsewhere. The description is a big vague; dead bushing somewhere? Wheel bearing?

Run a toe arm with lockout. Best solution hands down. No sure if your setup is truecoilover.

It can be a lot of things, but if it happened when you installed the camber arms I would look at them very closely. I had excessive play between the busing and camber arm and had the same rear end sway problem. Went back to the OEM arms and it went away. The OEM arms have very solid bushings on that arm, more so than any rubber/urethane bushing.

Check this thread, especially post #17 and #18.
