Was the steering box centered when you installed it? If not, the pitman arm could be installed in the wrong position. Are your turns left to right equal? Highly doubt the rag joint is off since the input shaft on the box has an indention that won't allow the bolt to be inserted if the rag joint is not correctly installed.
Not trying to disparage others' advice, but yes, the steering wheel can still be centered with an alignment, (ask me how I know), but your turning radius will be greater on one side than the other, and your steering will NOT be satisfactory because the box itself will be off centered.
What you need to do is to center your steering wheel, then take a look at the pitman arm position, (it should be straight ahead), and if not, you may need to reposition the pitman arm. With your steering wheel straight center, the jam bolt should be in the same position as your photo shows.
Hope this helps.
