Pretty sure the s/box has 4 slots, so getting the pitman arm position wrong will rotate the arm 90*. This would not be the problem.

If the steering wheel is out by half a turn, most likely the flange from the steering column has been installed 180* out on the rag joint.

If the steering wheel is just off centre a small amount, then the steering wheel spline to shaft position is probably out & the wheel should be re-installed on the correct spline.

The correct method for steering wheel & pitman arm centering is this:
pitmam arm should be pointing straight ahead in the centre of travel [ equal movement to L & R ]. Then, steering wheel is installed in centered position. If wheels are not centered [ pointing to L or R ], adjust tie rods so that wheels are pointing straight ahead.
