driveshaft alignment?

after changing all my u-joints and carrier bearing i noticed my two piece driveshaft was not inline...by inline i mean the trans yoke and 2nd shaft yoke were not in phase...also the trans yoke has a blind spline and my 2nd shaft yoke has a blind spline and i put them at 180 degrees apart...so my understanding is that all the yokes are supossed to line up and i put the blind splines 180 to each other, is that right?

All the u-joints in a drive shaft should line up or you will get a drive shaft vibration.
