Let's make this simple. I'll draw you a picture, shall I:
When at rest: on my car, the control arms are level.
Given your stationary ride height your control arms will be pointing upwards.
Now, here's the thing.
When cornering: one arm will move up, the other will move down.
In the photo the car is reacting to the forced placed on it during the cornering maneuver, the inside control arm has dropped, the outside one has risen.
It is this confusing effect of the car being in motion which you seem to be struggling with.
