Heavy Steering After Alignment / Specs?

After an alignment my steering seems to have gotten quite awkwardly heavier, requiring more effort to turn corners or even at an intersection. I have to pull in the direction I want where it feels less precise/ more dull, almost needing a second hand for the last portion of the turn. The previous owner installed LCA's and camber bolts, and the reason I got an alignment in the first place was because the camber bolt became loose and was causing a clunking when turning.

I majority DD with slight canyon runs, so while I'm not nitpicky about minuscule performance changes, cornering does seem to be less precise. I'm moreso concerned that steering became significantly more difficult after tightening the camber bolt and alignment, and was wondering if I have unideal specs causing this. Or if I was just used to whatever the previous owner's specs were and that this is how the car naturally should feel.

It seems the consensus is more camber up front than in back. I should've done my research beforehand but instead decided to trust a reputable shop, which decided to give me 0 camber and toe up front, -2 camber rear and .15 toe. What do you guys think, is this the cause? I know there is a wealth of alignment recommendations here, but feel free to suggest anything given my situation. Here's my spec sheet, note that the front camber isn't accurate as I tightened the camber bolt before bringing it in. Don't know what it was originally at.
