Front sub-frame and alignment issues

Front sub-frame and alignment issues
Help
I just had my motor mounts replaced and long tube headers installed
In order to do this the shop dropped the sub-frame and disconnected a lot of the front suspension.
After everything was reinstalled I took it in to check the alignment and found that it was way off and the tech could not get it back the prior specs
Prior I was at -3.25 camber on both sided and when I took it in I was at -1.2 on the left and -5.3 on the right. He couldn't get the left and any less than -1.7 and the right the most positive he could get was -2.7
My question is did the sub-frame shift and is there an alignment process on the sub-frame as it seems to have shifted during the removal and install that has shifted the suspension causing these issues
I need to go back and talk to the shop and I'm looking for more information before I do.............Thanks

look for blown bushings..break down and reassemble everything

Well I don't have any bushings so I don't think that's it. Everything I have is solid or spherical bearings.
I'm going to have to get it in the air and see what I can do to shift it all to the left. Not sure how much it needs to move to effect the camber 2 degrees
