One of two ways. Ujoint is mirror imaged from end to end. They must be inline with the joint on the other end of the same tube. If you get a vibe the one way, mark the tube and yoke so you can tell which way was wrong and put it together 180 out. Anything else is out of synch and will vibrate.

If there is a groove where the seal sits, get a speedi sleeve for it.
