The shop manual will provide the information you need. There is a centering mark on the worm at the very top of the shaft. Hard to see some times but that mark will help mate the worm and sector. Imanaged to rebuild the box install new worm and sector and get it all done in one try, amazing!

If you carefully measure and align the two shafts, you should be able to put match the mark on one with a mark you make on the other.
