He said these carbs were perfect for my bike. I was not so smart

Contact between tang and needle tip (spring pin side) should be as perpendicular as possible thru it's travel till coil bind. This a general rule regarding any carb! The tang as set in Yours forces the needle back instead of straight down, "can" cause sticking/leaking. The float seats can be shimmed a bit to provide the perfect scenario but by looking at Yours that would be impossible.

But why would three float heights all of a sudden fall out of order, unless the kickstand has something to do with that?

Anyways, Im off to buy new plugs. I will pull the old four and post them.

Never ever have seen the tang of the float body so much bent like yours.
They should be near equal leveled high to the brass float holders. Wrong needle valves?

I read thru some of the posts and someone mentioned the "blasting" done that removes the sacrificial coating off the metal, this is Very true! May look nice now but wait until they see moisture, flash rust city. Some guys you can tell they clearcoat these parts, as yours look to of had done. It works but paint on brackets are "in my opinion" a shortcut. Have them re-plated

The tang angle of your carbs can keep the needle valve lock/stuck in the seat bore.
