Need your help with Eibach springs

After installing Eibach springs for my M2, I noticed some issues. The car tends to pull to the right, and the steering feels lighter when turning right. Additionally, I've observed that the steering doesn't return fully to the center after making right turns (but perfectly comes to the center after left turns). Initially, I suspected it might be an alignment problem, so I took it to a trusted shop and had it aligned, but the issues are still there. I've included my alignment sheet for reference.

Could this still be an alignment issue, or might it be related to the installation of the springs?

Furthermore, the car tends to steer to the right over any road imperfections. Another observation I've made is that when the car is stationary and I turn the steering wheel from lock to lock, it reaches a point where it stops, but if I release the brakes, the steering continues to turn another few degrees

Many moons ago, a friend of mine experienced a similar issue after the installation of lowering springs.

Turns out the rear springs were installed upside down.

Worth a look.

The Eibach logo should read right-side up. It says so right in the instructions.

I just had a quick look underneath the car and springs are correctly installed (Eibach logo right-side up).
I'll have another shop do the alignment, fingers crossed issues will be gone after
