This is exactly what happened. See quote.
Now, how they can determine the proper alignment -- I don't know.

What may very well have happened was that the driveshaft slipped apart at the splines during the operation. If this happens without the two pieces being marked, it could have been slipped back in place in a different position. This will spoil the balance of the entire assembly.
Good luck,
