Default UCA dogbone question

Aren't the dogbones on the upper control arms (what I'm pointing to in this picture) supposed to rotate freely within the UCA? I seem to recall they did on my C6Z which had poly bushings installed but they don't seem to budge on my C7Z.

I discovered this when I unbolted the front UCA to pull the shocks. I even tried putting a long screwdriver through the home but all it did was mess up the bolt hole. I also can't seem to get the UCA back on without really compressing the suspension since the dog bones are canted down.
