2012 camber adjustment.
Camber and Caster are not the same thing. Adjustable control arms allow you to adjust CASTER (and pinion). They do NOT allow you to adjust Camber. As you thought, the main way to fix camber assuming it is truly off is to get adjustable ball joints. A lot of people get off camber readings do to bent outer C's.
Based on your readings, you look fine. Wouldn't worry about it. And you caster at 4.7 degrees is basically SPOT ON to what it should be with your lift. Any higher and you will get driveline issues. Any lower and you will have flightiness in the steering. I think your alingment looks great.

Upper and lower arms affect both Castor and Pinion Angles. Which pair gets adjusted which direction depends on what is needed for the individual rig. In general, changing castor angle also changes pinion angle. The result is often a compromise.

A lot of bad info in this thread. The 4.7 degree caster reading is very close to ideal. You don't need to do anything. Camber isn't adjustable other than with a torch and a welder or by installing offset ball joints. Same thing with trying to dial in ideal pinion angle and caster. Other than cutting, moving, and rotating mounting brackets, you cannot have both. No combination of adjustable arms will change the fact that as you add caster, you rotate the diff downwards worsening the driveshaft pinion angle and leading to a pinched pinion boot that eventually tears and leads to the stock driveshaft failing, or on after market double-cardan shafts, vibrations and potential drivetrain issues.
