just got home from getting new front springs in and noticed the retaining cup on passenger side is bent and coil isnt sitting totally inside it. is it fine to drive like this or do i need to get a new coil cup put in?

Looks like the spring was not seated properly, until a few bumps and it has bent the cup. I would either pull the cup and straighten it, or replace it.

the other coil is seated properly and the bronco leans a tad to driver side, more in rear than front. its actually bent down in the middle, not upwards. the left and right sides of the coil in the pic are seated fine, but as you can see the cup is bent down in the middle
