Reinstalling BF225 lower unit having turned engine over with LU off

Just refitting my LU and can't get it on the last inch - I'm pretty sure the drive shaft isn't aligned with the motor and this is because I turned the engine over while the LU was off!

Can I put the LU into gear and turn the prop until it aligns?
 
Well I was wrong!
Tried fitting the LU without the shift shaft in place and it went straight on.
Turns out the shift shaft was dropping down/forward because I had the engine tilted up too far and it wasn't aligned with the hole.
Tilted the engine further down and it pretty much went straight on!
