The steering column spacer not lining up.

Hello all, I have a 1970 duster with a floor shift, I rebuilt the steering column and I can’t get it back in the right position, see pictures below. I can’t seem to see where the problem is, the column O ring retainer is right up against the firewall.

The Steering shaft isn’t going on all the way on the steering box, but I’m not 100% sure that it wasn’t like that before. What’s strange is that they are off in opposite directions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
