This is what it should look like. The angle isn't hugely important, but they need to be equal and parallel as shown.
The rear might twist up 1-2 degrees at cruise too, so slightly nose down at rest is OK, but it can't "break across zero" (meaning the angle between the shaft and the pinion cannot go across 0 degrees, or -1 to +2 for example), and you never want the pinion and driveshaft in a straight line either.
