You may well have to reposition the steering wheel after this work, but that shouldn't affect the self centering.
If it really doesn't self centre like before you changed the coupling, then the only thing I can think off is that the coupling isn't slid on the splines far enough and is loading up the column bearings.

Was an almost seized control arm outer ball joint the last time I came across this. Strut top bearings are suspects as well.
