Rear Driveshaft concern

I'm in the process of replacing the inner seal to my t case for a leakage and was removing the rear driveshaft from the case itself. I forgot to release the air pressure but when I pulled off the rearmost joint the slip yoke released from the front of the rear joint and fell on top of me (luckily not the ground). I wasn't expecting it to slip off, leaving me to pieces of the driveshaft). My concern is I never marked that area of the driveshaft as I had no intention of separating it. I got it back together (in what seems to be the "correct" spot) but of course it's just splines so I can't be 100%. I have the markings on the actual joints but am concerned that this will cause issues with the spacing. Thoughts? If so what are my options here? Pic for reference.

Did you mark the front and rear U joint? If so, that might help to align. Or you can use the zerks as reference as they all fall in straight line. I just removed my driveshaft a couple of days ago, so i noticed that the zerks are in straight line. I also marked, just in case.

btw, misaligned spline in driveshaft will only cause some vibrations. If it occurs probably a driveline specialist might be able to counter balance it with weights. Hope this helps

I did mark the Front and rear U Joint, so I do have that going for me. Yeah, this was my first time and I wasn't expecting it to have that much pressure to push it apart once the rear U Joint was disconnected. Thanks!
