Also with the rack that way up, your getting alot of bump steering as the wishbones move upward
It wasn't purposely intended that way, hence my saying bit outwards mounting.
Naturally it should be less angled.
I am trying now moving the mounting back to top (but still same mounting point). This would be like using the same top mounting but extended out. Hope to get better LR transfer response in a way.

For the steering, I used to use outer top of the knuckle arm with normal steering rack positioning.
It give more turning angle as well as reducing possibilities of ball cup dropping off.
Downside of that is it has variation in angle on different level of acceleration (FR wt transfer) so I try to get it less / linear. I prefer this setup over previous combination.
The default mounting is also close to linear but I don't like the idea of mounting my cups under the knuckles.
