verify that you are reaching the stops at full left & right, then you will have to find some splines between steering wheel & steering gearbox input shaft (maybe the steering wheel is the only set of splines) , use splines to re-index the steering wheel to position you want. on my semi we put the steering wheel off "perfect" so that we can see the highbeam indicator

Generally the adjustment is at the tie rod ends. Don't fool with the shaft at the gear box and don't pull the wheel. Take it back and insist that they do the basic task associated with an alignment-center the steering wheel and box.

The only adjustment for the steering wheel alignment that should be done is on the front end of the truck and if the shop isn't capable of that I would question whether the front end was correctly aligned at all.
Edit, unless major steering components such as the steering box were replaced at the same time.
