Default S2000 higher on one side

I have a 2004 Honda S2000 , ans I had one of my shocks replaced in the rear it was the rear passenger side. I was detailing my car, and noticed that passenger side is higher. I had Honda dealership install that shock, the rest of the shocks have roughly 30k miles. Would replacing that one new shock cause the car to become higher on that side?? Thank you guys I am new to the forum but this is my second s2000!!

It can take a day or two for new shocks to settle in. Has it been longer than that? Are you sure the pavement was level? How much of a difference is there?

It has been about a week already. You can deff see it in the rear well and the driver side looks lower due to the passenger side being higher. You can see the difference at any level pavement esp here in FL all is flat. I would say a good 1/3 inch maybe 1/4 and it happened after installing that 1 new shock

Okay I will check, but do you think that a new shock would cause that to happened or is that out of the question and it has to be something else
