NEED HELP ASAP! Aluminum DS and U-Joint questions

I have a 92RS and I am trying to put an Aluminum shaft in but the u-joint at the rear won't tighten in the rear end retainers. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

Make sure the u-joint is perfectly centered in the Companion Flange (yoke) if the differential.

Found out what was wrong. The auto parts store sold me the wrong joint. I got the right one and everything went back right
