Sway bar questions; End links , clunk noise

Got my new h and r springs and kyb's up front today. There is less clunking but when i rock the car side to side i get a clunk. Is my sway bar rubbing? Is this noise normal? Is this the angle the sway bar end links normally connect at? This is my first experiance with bars on a 89-94. I may take the front off lots of really bumpy pot hole filled roads in my hood. Maybe leave the back one on.

Edit i also did new strut mounts. Seems like one noise went away the other one stayed the same maybe a little less frequent. I put the new end link on one side because i had a loose one that was wore out.

Looks like the bar is installed upside down. Usually the nuts on the bar ends face the road, and the bar is above the control arm.

The links go on top of the control arm.

Didn't even know they would mount like that... lol

It's a little hard to tell but it looks like your exhaust clears the bar and other then the end links being upside down, I can't see anything that would rub. I just installed the front and rear a few weeks ago that the exhaust from a '95 worked perfect to keep the bar from rubbing. Otherwise there is nothing for the bar to hit on. The rear will have the same issue with the exhaust if you don't bend it or have the '95+ pipe in. I couldn't even test fit mine with my stock exhaust on.
