Looks right to me. Put an angle finder on the side of the sway bar on the line between the eye where the disco connects and the bar turns inboard to confirm angle.

It's not the sway bar, lots of us are using the JKS Sway Bar Disconnects. You run the stock sway bar. When disconnected, it allows your front axle to articulate much more than when your swsy bar is connected.

I had these on my 88 xj. And at turn full tuck I popped a hole on each side of. The inner fender well. Where I had them connected. Got mad and took the whole bar out. But I like the way you have them might try them again.
