steering angle sensor...steering wheel not straight

I changed the steering angle sensor today and I thought I was very careful to keep everything straight, but no, the wheel is cocked. Should I just pull the steering wheel and straighten it or pull the shaft back out and make sure everything is lined up when I put it back together. Still have to take it to my indie to code it.

Been there done that. Took me pulling things apart 4 times to get it back to where it belonged. Pull the shaft back out and align the steering wheel properly. They won't be able to adjust the steering tie rods enough to straighten it out.
