But yesterday I found the passenger is higher than the driver's side by .5 inch

Is that normal ? Needs time to settle?

is it the rear with the issue?

Check make sure the top mounts you swapped over is lined up and fitted correctly. Double check the height measurements of both shocks to match them evenly. Both are usually suppose to settle the same time. Are you running rear bags?

Also are you on perfectly level ground each time?

The rears will sag a bit, so you need to start the car and then measure.
