You have a full degree of differential camber on the front. The differential camber should be set as close to zero as possible.
On my 03 Aero, the strut tube is attached to the wheel hub with two large bolts. When the bolts are loosened, there is enough slack in the bolt holes etc to allow the tilt of the wheel hub to be adjusted. If you have the same there is no reason that the differential camber should not have been zero'd out. If if were my vehicle I would go back and tell them to get it done right.
It is possible to make alignment changes at home, but very difficult to do it right. And when you change the camber, the wheel hub pivots on the ball joint. This moves the tie rod attachment point in and out as well. So after you change the camber, the toe-in and wheel centering are changed too. So that is a lot of work to get right. You would need some specialized equipment.
The rear differential camber should be close to zero as well. I don't know if the rear camber can be adjusted.
Camber and toe-in angles may depend on the profile of the tires installed on the vehicle.
