Connect the mounting holes with straight lines, as in the video.
Yours are crossed, instead of being parallel. Replacing the drop pitman with the stock will move that mounting hole up above the tracbar, and your lines will be nice and parallel.
Once you get that taken care of, see how she drives.
If the bumpsteer is gone (which it should be), but it is still a bit flighty - there is a huge thread on this lift that you can read for more info on the caster. With adjustable control arms, you would probably want your caster numbers to be in the 5-6 range for that lift height. Your current numbers look really low to me, but that may just be my inexperience with those lowering brackets.
