I went to the Tire Pros shop and bought two rear tires because my steel belts were showing in the rear and I asked him for a to do an alignment and they ran diagnostic for the alignment and said they could not do it in the rear driver side tire was headed -5 camber the other rear tire was just a like a quarter inch off. But now all my engine warning lights are on and it says check hybrid system and the car is not running properly. It is almost seems like it needs transmission fluid so something. When I put in the park it jerks forward. Hey guys at Tire Pros quoted me an estimate of $800.00 to replace both strut assemblies for the rear and they said that that would fix all of my problems. Is that possible?

I would take it to another shop and get a second opinion. If the struts or mounts are bent or damaged they can change the camber angle that much. No way for us to see that without putting in on an alignment rack.
I also do not see that fixing the warning lights unless the wheel speed sensor(s) are disconnected/damaged/faulty and they change those out at the same time.
