Need alignment help badly

Had an alignment done today. I have the Helix camber plates. Recently installed.
Bear in mind I haven't messed with alignment specs in 30 years and things have changed a bit but I'm thinking my before and after settings, especially camber are crap. Toe I'm not sure of because this readout is in degrees and I'm used to fractions positive and negative.

I seriously need help because, like a dope, I trusted the morons and didn't read the specs until I got home.

They told me the camber plates wouldn't go any further. I asked for -1.5 camber and 3/32nds toe out. Why the he!! would they leave my right side camber at -2.1??
Here's the scanned in before and after specs. Left is before and right is after.
