Steering wheel

Installed the burgeon steering shaft, great product , it took all the slop out of my steering. The problem now is my steering wheel is a quarter turn to the right ( passenger side). I set the set screw of the shaft on the flat spot of the splined shaft on the steering gear. My question is how do I straighten my steering wheel? Do I pull the wheel put it back on straight, adjust the drag link, or alter the position of the steering shaft??

If the alignment is good, just park the truck with the wheels straight, pull the steering wheel and put it back on straight. This is how they do it at alignment shops because it is really difficult to get everything aligned and have the wheel straight. Wow! You must have had a lot of slop in your steering, if the wheel was straight before the shaft swap...
