Steering shaft help

ok so i had to take my steering box out to plate the unibody and tap it for bitgger bolts etc, now were trying to get it back in and the steering shaft isnt wanting to extend back out all the way to fit properly on the steering box. the mounting place of the box is still stock so i dont know why its not fitting back in right..

thanks..


BTW tried searching but couldnt seem to find the right info
