Default Balancing drive shaft

hey guys, about a week ago i removed the drive shaft on my 98 gs400 without match marking the transmission companion flange and drive shaft flexible flange! and now the car howls from 35 mph-45mph, before i removed the drive shaft no noise was heard! looked for painted marks or any type of markings on the shaft but couldn't see anything, anyone have an idea on how to realignment my drive shaft? thanks.

Mark the current position as wrong and reassemble at the next position. It may take you couple of attempts but you will be able to find the old setting.
