I was just wondering if anyone had any pointers on this. Could the shims being in the wrong sides make the output shafts not fit AND still allow the Ring and Pinion gears to line up properly, because as they are now the ring and pinion at aligned correctly. Any pointers would be appreciated.

if the shims were put in wrong you wouldnt be able to spin the ring gear assembly when it was installed.
if that diff was more than like 5 years old then it was designed as a vlsd replacement diff. When i bought my KAAZ from the US distributor Newport Exotic Cars in 99 i could not get it installed because of the sideshafts. I ended up having to buy a VLSD sideshaft from nissan to get the diff to work in my 96. Now KAAZ has moddified the diff to work with open diff sideshafts.
More than likely you have a diff that requires VLSD sideshafts. I cant remember but put the short shaft on the other side and now you need a really long one. A VLSD one.
its been a long time so i cant remember too well.
