Steering assembly problem, or alignment problem?

After I partially unmounted and then remounted my steering rack (rack and pinion), my alignment is fine, but the steering input is a few degrees off.  To drive straight ahead, I need to keep the steering wheel turned a few degrees to the left.   If I keep the wheel top dead center, the car drifts right.

Here's what happened.  I unbolted my steering rack from the front subframe, hydraulic lines, and steering column.  Then I pulled it down and away from the subframe, leaving it hanging by the tie rods.  I needed the clearance to change the oil pan.  I didn't adjust the tie rods at any time.

I put it back together.  I left the steering wheel in the "locked" position, on center, from beginning to end.

I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like I got the coupling between the steering rack and the steering column lined up on reassembly pretty darn close.  My marks on the coupler and the column lined up.

Do I need to drop the rack and try to get the coupling re-assembled a couple degrees right, so a top center steering wheel drives the car straight ahead?

Or is something this small, just a couple of degrees, something fixable by tie rod end adjustment and front wheel alignment? 

There's some slop in the rack mounts. Could technically fix it by shifting it around until you get it back exactly where it was. But realistically just get an alignment.

The last time I did something like that I marked everything and tried to get it back exactly where it was and still missed by a few degrees of steering wheel angle.

Any time you ever disassemble the steering or suspension, you really should re-align everything.  Stuff moves.

A simple lengthen one tie rod end a fart or two while you shorten the other the same amount should correct the wheel.

Aweeeeesome!  Thanks gents!
