E300D Front Control Arm Re-Install w210

ok guys, finally been able to start putting her back together and I have some questions.

Since I am replacing the OEM springs with some E55 springs, in addition to all the required bushings and such I bought the E55 lower control arm camber bolts. The bolts that were on there previously were nothing special, normal looking bolt with a flat round washer. The new replacement bolts look much more interesting.

The washers have a notch in them that stands out on one side, almost looks like the can fit into the grooves in the lower subframe mounting holes. I am ASSUMING that the notched side should be facing the control arm, correct? I've added a photos to show how I installed the bolts with the washers onto the arms.

Also, the front bolt would not fit back in like the one I removed. The original bolt seemed slightly shorter and was a tight fit to remove as a line to the transmission cooler runs right in front of the front bolt. In the photos I installed this bolt in the reverse, such that the heads of both bolts face each other on the inside. Is that ok? I am adding a photo of the other side how it looks as I have not yet touched it.

Also when the tech that handles the alignment, I assume that he fiddles with those lower control arm bolts when adjusting things correct? SO how tight should I tighten them in nM?
