Exclamation car in accident everything fixed but still having problems

Hi ther, im coming to threads because i have now where else to go. 2 months ago i got into an accident hitting a curb bending the driver wheel in and cracking the front driver i could call myself kinda expericend with working on cars so i go and take on the job of fixing the damage i had to replace rear lower control arm, lateral link, and towing arm also i ended up replacing wheel bearings on both sides since one was already going bad. After all of this, the car is drivabl, and I take it to a shop to get everything checked because there was still a clunk in the rear. They told me my struts were overdue for change, so I took them to 1aauto for the 4-piece kit of strut assembly. I went to put all 4 on, also changed out the rear sway bar link, and even after all this, there is still a clunk in the rear, mostly when I go over bumps. So i cant figure it out so i send it to the dealership and they have it for about three weeks and they ended up replacing the rear driver the side of the damage supension knuckle i get it back and the car drives fine maybe about 10 miles home then i take it for a drive the next day and the clunk still persist in the rear so now im out of ideas on what it could be mind you all new tires and rims aswell i had 22s on there but decided to downgrade to stock wheels for the camaro 2015 lt i take it back to the dealership 2 more times and there not able to see anything wrong they say everything is tight then i get info to another guy who has quit abit of experince with cars so he sees i have play in my passenger rear and needed to change rear driver side supension kunckle and he recommends i change the struts do to the upper mount might be faulty on the rears i goot in the 4pc set from 1aauto so i get some from orielys and after he puts the supension knuckle on and the new rear struts now the car is swaying in the rear i took it for an allighment and the vehicle starts swaying in the rear like wind hitting only the rear. At this point i really dont know what to do so i take it to another mechanic trutsed being doing buisness with for years they see nothing is wrong after looking over thouroly so they suggest another allighment so they sent me to a shop they use there able to get the sterring wheel straight and the clunk persist and even the swaying is somewhat gone but it still there i took it for a test drive and got up to 120 i let off and the car swayed in the rear when i let off i am lost for ideas they checked subframe bushings everything is in good condition please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have put the new alignment sheet on the link if this is helpful

Everything is fixed; there is just still a sway and a clunk in the rear. Please help if you have ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
