I took the one I was working on and put it into the passenger side and it is not going in again.
At this point I'm thinking the shop dropped the shaft or hit it on the floor and mushroomed it just enough to not let it go into the 3rd member. Might have to go pick up a junk unit and get it rebuilt (again)

This tells you it's something with the axle, not the housing.
Pull both axles out and stand them up side by side on your bench, and carefully compare them. I still think you have something out of place on the offending axle: a bearing, retainer, or ABS tone ring that's out of position.
As others have said, if the spines were damaged, you could see that from across the room.
