Guys, I'm not a suspension expert but I'm pretty sure the shocks should not be rubbing against the lower control arm mount? Any advice here?

there are 3 glaring things here,
The shock mounting bolt should position the shock further out.
Your pinion angle may be to high.
That aftermarket shock bracket is not properly designed to clear without a lot of shock mount offset.

Thanks for the comments, any suggestions on how to fix the shock mounting bolt or the shock mount offset? The rear is a Quick Performance 9".

a longer bolt with a large diameter sleeve to space the shock out and check that your pinion is not pointing up.

Something like this looks like it might work?

Your shock mounting bolt is wrong it doesn't have a spacer of the appropriate width between between the shock and the mount.
