Hoping it is an easy fix. So, did i put it back together and just missed aligning it when I put it back together?
Yes

A helper to support it really helps when you align the rods since you don't have to drop it all the way.

Once you put it back together, install 1 bolt to hold it and and check by shifting and the prop won't spin freely.

That is the part I skipped being in a hurry. LOL
