I meant to post an update way sooner but I got this issue all resolved! I didn’t realize that the square headed bolts need to be incredibly loose! Like half a thread kind of loose. They then slide into two slots on the actual column jacket itself which pulls the jacket, collar, and housing all together! Even together, there is about a 1/16” gap between the collar and housing which I clearly forgot about when I took it apart. I hope this helps someone else in the future
