Not saying you're a n00b at all. You're in that intermediate/early advanced DE range that gets really tough to significantly add speed because the "low hanging fruit" is already gone, and any bobbles you have are at a much higher speed than say, your first few events. Some people never really progress past this point because it understandably gets you in some "uncomfortable" situations with having to deal with the car really moving around underneath you for the first time.
And just so you think I'm not some internet yahoo, I've been tracking regularly for ~15 yrs, and instructing for I guess 8 or 9 now.

I ordered a knuckle last week and it came in today. I'd like to scan it before install but I'm anxious to get it in and see if it fixes the camber...

Knuckle was replaced yesterday and it was definitely bent. The one that came off the car measured 1/8" shorter than the replacement, as measured between lower and upper ball joints. Camber is improved but not where it should be, getting -1.3° max from the FL. Checked subframe alignment with the body and I had already shifted it as far as it can go towards the driver's side.
Bought a front subframe and upper control arm (just in case) today. Hope to have the subframe in next week and get back on track already...

Did you figure out if the knuckle was the problem of the front camber? I just got my alignment today and figured out I can only get .5 left with 4 caster and 1.2 right with 6.7 caster on front cambers :/ bought the car two weeks ago so idk what has happened before...also what shop are ou using or the machine that scans if the part is broken? I want to see which parts I have to replace and what are broken before I buy unnecessary suspension stuff

The 3D scanner was just a fun thing to do, that was done at work using very expensive hardware which would be a completely impractical use of resources if it were only used to measure bent suspension bits.
You can use a tape measure to get an idea of what is bent. Guessing you have at least a bent control arm.
