got a 305mm Penske rear shock on my R6 and the back of the bike looks low. can someone give me the measurements between the hole centers in the triangular plates and the link arm of a shock linkage? i want to check if I've got lowering links.

Do you have a photo we can refer to? yeah, we need more context
 
lowering links for sure. Stock dogbones are usually 115 to 120mm center to center. If yours are longer, you've got aftermarket ones., you can pop one off and measure, easy way to confirm.

I can't give a lot of input from the limited info so I guess I just want you to compare the measurements of the upper plate to link and lower plate to link with your set-up. That's basically it.

Agree with @jaycetotheworld there. Also try checking your height adjuster on the Penske because some might come to you preset to low. Last make sure to align plates because the aftermarket ones might be different.
