Should I flip the camber plates the other way and shove the top of the shock toward the firewall? I was rubbing bad on the firewall side of my fender wells before, and I know I only had like 6* of caster before. Would caster really make the car feel THAT unstable. It was like tank slap city.

I think your rear alignment might be out too, but the caster is the reason you're having to steer so much. I don't think I would run less than 6* or something, but I'm not the one driving the car, and I don't know what you have it at now.
I would put the camber plate back sideways, or just mess with it when you get an alignment so you can compromise between getting the wheel centered in the well and having enough/not too much caster.
That being said, too much toe in or out will hurt grip by heating the front tires too much (scrubbing), and can make the rear feel unstable depending on the thrust angle.
