telescopic repair problem

[Lownslowlsc]

Well i lowered my steering colum to manually adjust the telscopic part of my steering wheel cause it was stuck all the way inwards. I removed all the torx bits to access the controls. I began to adjust the bolt and the steering wheels began to come out as it should have. I tried to mount it back up to the 4 bolts that hold it to the car and they were about 1.5" behind the mounting holes for the tele/up/down.. I put it back to were it was and it was still the same distance away from the mounting bolts.

What the hell did i do? Did i do something wrong? Or am i just forgetting something?

I don't completely understand, are you saying the holes on the steering box dont match up with the holes on the car?

And the wheel began to come out but now the bolts-4- won't match up to reinstall it into the car.They are about 1.5 in short.
