The main concern is the steering box. The pitman arm of the box has to be centered for the steering to work properly. The boxes are assembled a little differently each time, which is why steering wheels are splined. Set the box correctly, then you can put the steering wheel on where ever you want.

Steering boxes have a flattened side to an input shaft that isn't always in the same place, so steering wheels are installed after the rest of the steering. If you got a steering wheel that was aligned for a box with a different orientation and centered it by changing the tie rod ends, you have a messed up geometry.

Take the whole thing apart, center the pitman arm in its travel and try to be as exact as possible. Remove the steering wheel, install the steering column, and THEN install the wheel in the centered position. While the steering wheel is off, check to make sure everything is working properly with the cancelling cam for the turn signal. As you watch it operate, it will be clear whether or not its working properly.
