Lower control arm sway bar tabs not the same height

I never gave it much thought before but when I put new bushings on my end links I noticed that the right side mounting tab sets lower than the drivers side. I took these pictures to show the differences. The ride height of the car is equal side to side so I ruled that out. The tabs are pretty robust and I know that they haven't been damaged or bent which I think would take a pretty good hit to move one this much. Is this something the factory might have did when they welded them on to force the sway bar to be loaded one side against the other?? Or should they both be the same? With the drivers side sway bar eye sitting on the top bushing, the right side top of the threaded link is just into the hole. I have to pull it down to get the nut started and then finish tightening it down to draw the bar tight to the bushing. The drivers side sits all the way onto the bushing without having to pull it down at all. I checked the sway bar on a true flat surface and it's not bent. I don't want to try to tweek the tab up that may not be bent if this is the way the factory meant them to be. Opinions welcomed.
