New rear drop springs 1" higher on drivers side tried everything?

Ok... stuck these in today, they are 5" springs drivers side sitting about 1 inch higher than passenger side. I tried everything, rotating spring, flipping spring, seating and re seating 4 different times. Tried swapping shocks from side to side, nothing worked. ???? Not sure what else to do... is there a way to compress the drivers side spring more, maybe jack up the trailing arm under it and tighten the sh*t out of it? Am I gonna have to cut part of the coil? what can I do? Am I gonna have to shim the passenger side to raise the passenger side, is that my only option?

Just make sure the pigtail ends of both springs are pointing in the same direction.
How did it set before?
Frame tweaked?
