The rear camber is locked in using the eccentric washers on the lower control arm. One of these is under a bolt, the other is under a nut. The nut is single use, with pre-applied "micro encapsulated" thread sealant. So before starting, make sure your shop has these on hand. As with the front, the camber is done before the toe.

It does mention using the threaded hole. I have the 2014 Camaro GM service manual. In the wheel alignment section, Front Camber Adjustment, with a picture,
-"Install the service only camber adjusting bolt (M10x1.5x40) into the threaded hole at the top of the knuckle and gentle (sic) tighten until it is snug against the strut body."
-"Loosen the strut to knuckle bolts"
-"Adjust the front camber to specifications using the camber adjusting bolt..."
-"Tighten the strut to knuckle nuts to 59lb/ft plus 180*"
-"Remove the service only camber adjusting bolt"
As mentioned, at the front, the toe is always adjusted after the camber. Any movement of front camber will change the toe. But not the other way around. You can move your toe and it won't change the camber.
BUT, at the rear, any movement of camber will move the toe and any movement of the toe will move the camber. To get the rear where you want is a delicate dance, but it can be made perfect. It takes patience and a gentle hand.
