Default New steering gear and steering wheel alignment

I just replaced my steering gear and coupling joint, but now my steering wheel is off-center...there is no way the gear, pitman arm, or coupler could be installed with the splines in the wrong position; assuming the gear (a quality one from Red Head) was centered when I bought it, do I need to try to adjust the tie rods to fix? I seem to remember the same kind of issue when I replaced the gear and coupler 30 years ago...ugh!!
