leaning to one side

Recently, I had the right front Upper control arm changed, because there was squeaking noise on the bottom of the car.
But the next day I realized right front of the car is leaning.
So, I searched this forum but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
I checked my strut valve seal, but there is no leaking.
I also pushed the rise button.. the car was rising.
Even after driving I checked the right front side, but the same thing happened, the car was not rising at all.
Should I adjust the airmatic after I had the upper control arm changed?
Please help...
Thank you.

Check the front right ride height sensor which connects to the upper control arm.

Check that the sensor lever is actually connected to the upper control arm, it is very easy to miss this during a RR job, no adjustment is required. And make sure the sensor is plugged in.

Is the sensor lever actually connected to the upper control arm and is it straight or slightly bent? compare it with the sesor lever on the other side.

That is the sensor lever and it looks OK to me, compare it with the other side and see. If they are the same, then you will need someone to use SDS to adjust the ride height.

I found something.
This metal is not secured(not in whole).
I checked other side that metal is inside little whole but right side it's not.
It is outside hole.
I tried to put it into the hole that but i couldn't, So i will go mechanic tomorrow.
Is that possible that metal not secured that's why my right side leaning?
Anyway thank you for your help.
I will let you know tomorrow..

If the lever is not fitted exactly then yes it will affect the ride height.
