Rear Suspension Creaking Noise

So I finally got everything done (rear shocks, trailing arm bushings, and outer cross stay bushings) and have been driving the car around for a few days. I haven't gotten an alignment done yet b/c I will do the front this weekend.
Unfortunately, I still have a rattle in the right rear. Two actually: one is like something is loose and rattles at very slow speeds on bumps (for example: coming to a stop) and the other one is more of a creaking noise at quicker speeds (25-40mph).
I am wondering if there are any other bushings that I should replace? Could the inner cross stay bushing cause a rattle? It seems like it should be fairly easy to replace, but I haven't found anything on it. Additionally, when I put everything back together, the right rear lower shock bolt didn't line up with the trailing arm properly. It was about an inch off - to the rear; so I just pushed it towards the front of the car until it lined up and put the bolt in. Is this a problem that will cause issues? The other side was lined up perfectly.
Any thoughts?
