What is drive shaft dip face up ?
Suspension arms that have drive shafts running across them have a top side and a bottom side. The top side will have a recess that dips down so they don’t touch/bind as the suspension depresses. The bottom will be flat. If you have them on upside down, chances are the suspension will have limited travel until it touches the shaft and that’s it.

That said, not all cars will have this issue and some modern cars will allow you to mount the arms universally.

Your rear end should look like this in terms of alignment and clearances for all the components. Also, are you sure your suspension hangers are installed correctly?
