Default Rough Country Lift Problem

Hello I have the rough country lift kit 27630 for my 1994 chevy k1500. I am doing a front end rebuild and am having a problem. I took off the heim joint going from the center link to the lower control arm drop bracket, I forgot to tighten it back up before I put the steering back together(tie rods, pitman and idler arm). Now the hole on the drop bracket doesn't quite align with the hole on the center link, and the heim joint isnt straight on, its angled diagonally slightly when I believe it's supposed to be straight and lined up with each other.

To adjust this do I need to remove the tie rods and pitman and idler arms again to line it up or is there a way to do it without removing everything? Could I keep it diagonal without any major problems after getting an alignment?

Thank you.

Heres a video of the problem:

here is a picture of the actual heim joint at an angle with the steering center link.



Picture I drew incase its hard to see the angle.
