So I checked the distances between tyres and arches this morning and it is still leaning to the drivers side by 1cm front and rear (although you can't tell by looking - it looks much better). So I will leave the rear spacer in.
On my way into work this morning there was a dull pinging sound coming from the drivers side (front and rear) when going over speedbumps/potholes, which must be coming from the spacers. Is this common or is it something to be worried about?

Honestly I'd remove the spacer on the rear. Its doing no good there. The noise I guess is the suspension creaking as its working against itself. Get both spacers on the top of the front right hand spring where they need to be. Everything will be just as intended then. Replacements spring are the same length at the back and at the front the drivers side one is longer than the passenger one to eliminate lean.
As said before, the lean is diagonal rear left hand side to front right.
In terms of the sound it was a very distinctive twanging noise that clearly came from the front axle when the front wheels hit the speedbump and the rear axle when the rear wheels hit. Hopefully taking the rear spacer out will help.

The spacer should have a cut surface shaped to take the end of the spring and to stop the spring rotating
