Exclamation Need help with Intermediate Steering shaft

Hello, I replaced the intermediate steering shaft but forgot to check the position of the shaft join in steering column and now there is a very small non centered steering wheel.
Can anyone here take a picture of the intermediate steering shaft in straight position, to see the rigth position in the steering column under the steering wheel?
I apologize for my stupidity and would be very grateful if you can help me with this and post here the picture.
Once again thank you for your help.

You just have to separate the shaft and yoke and centre the steering wheel, it might take a few tries!

One tooth can move it to far, then you’ll need a front end alignment to centre the steering wheel, or like me live with it!

Be careful not to break the clockspring.

Thumbs up Solved

Finally, I could fix this, watched and bought an original intermediate shaft and swap the cheap copy that I had bought, which I strongly not recommend, it was of poor quality.
All right put all the mark in the steering wheel and the front wheels in rack poition, it was just to put on the new shaft and the steering wheel is now in the right place without any wrong angle.
