Default Alignment problem, 718 GTS

The workshop has problems with the right front. On the left side, they have succeeded with -1.3, but only -0.6 on the right.
What could be the problem, could something be bent or damaged?

Did they loosen the top of the strut and push the top inward, on the side you need more negative camber ?

If they didn’t then they aren’t a good knowledgeable shop.

Please detail your alignment spect, and what you want to achieve. Is the workshop a Porsche dealer ?

Remove the plastic battery cover at the rear of the frunk and take a photo of the top of your struts for us. As mentioned above we should be able to see by that if the workshop knew what they were doing.

I want max camber -1,2-1,3, to avoid wear on the outside of the tires. The workshop is not a Porsche dealer

The workshop is working with the car right now. I asked them to look for bent parts as struts and shock asobers ( piston )
The work of adjusting camber to the front is otherwise quite simple.
Loosen 3 nuts and then push everything inwards. Get back with pic on strut

with this setting it is the same camber left / right about -0.5 degrees. If I push in the left side max, I end up at -1.2
