Ball joints - stiff steering

Good Saturday morning....

So I replaced my front ball joints a few weeks ago with greaseable moog one. Ever since, my steering has been fairly stiff and does not correct that easily. I have read on here that this van be common especially with moog and that they will loosen - but I also saw that if the knuckle is not seated correctly that it can have an effect as well.

I am pretty sure that is my problem.... I know on the pass side I tightened the top ball joint nut before the bottom and that it seems I may not have seated it right. My question in, how far back into the assembly do I need to go in order to loosen up those nuts and re-seat the knuckle? Can I do it with just taking the tire off?

Thanks
