Off alignment after getting an alignment

So I have 2017 M4 and recently installed Emmanuel Design springs.
After about 2 weeks of driving to settle new springs, I went to go get an alignment.

The alignment guy said that rears are good at -2.0 cambers each but front was off. -1.5 on drivers side and -1.9 on passenger side.

He said since I am just lowered on springs and not coilover with camper plate, he cannot adjust the camber.

Should I worry or am I OK with current alignment?

Mine was the same and I have just put camber plates on to sort it and regret it due to the increase noise. It has fixed the camber issue though, bit they can't go lower than 1.8.

If there is a bmw fix for this I'd like to know.

How long did you drive around before getting camber plate?
was it all fine driving around? any uneven tire wear?

A year and 12k miles. Yes all fine. Tyre wear seems the same both sides but I guess it's higher on the side with more camber.
