Default strut tower nuts and wheel alignment

quick question, would messing around with the strut tower nuts throw off wheel alignment? sorry for the dumb question. Long story short, installing a strut bar, I removed the nuts and put them back on. However I had to jack up the drivers side to get things to fit. I put everything back together with the drivers side still jacked up. Thanks!

well i think you were supposed to jack up the side you were doing when installing it? But it all feels fine, then good?

^^^ can you explain a little better? I jacked up ONLY the drivers and finished things with the drivers side still jacked up. With the steering wheel at center, the car veers to the left a little bit. Gets worst at higher speeds.

you jack up the side your working on. i.e.- jack up the pass side when tightning the pass side nuts, then let it down and do the same on the other. Thats what i did.
