Question Question about changing the steering wheel.

Hi, my 17 GS200T F SPORT, replaced a RC steering wheel. But there was a problem. When I removed the GS steering wheel and installed the RC steering wheel, I found that when I aimed at the position where the GS steering wheel was removed and installed it, it couldn’t be installed. I could only go left or right. Turn it a little to fit it.
So there was a problem. After installing the steering wheel, when my car was going straight, I needed to turn my steering wheel to the left and keep this angle to go straight.
This situation was resolved after I went to have a wheel alignment done. But do I need to use Techstream again to calibrate the steering angle of the steering wheel? Or do I need to use Techstream for initialization other than steering angle calibration?
What's more, my car replaced the TEIN FZ suspension system and the front and rear AP brake system. Now my car has lowered its height. Do I need to use Techstream to do other system initialization?
Hope someone can help me. Grateful.
Below is a picture of my car now.

Nice looking GS!

You can probably follow the below guide to reset the steering trims:

Also it wouldn't hurt to reset the calibration for the auto-leveling lights after adjustment of the ride height:

Why did you go with an RC steering wheel? I recently did a swap to a modded GS wheel below. I am guessing the spline pattern on the RC wheel was a couple teeth off from the GS spine pattern.

Thank you for your help!
So I just need to do a calibration of zeroing the steering angle and resetting the auto leveling light?
I see that the corresponding model year in the PDF you sent is 2008, but my car is a 2017 car. Is the method universal?

I admit that the steering wheel buttons on the GS look much better than those on the RC, but I don't like the size of the steering wheel on the GS, it's too big for me.

I forgot to check the steering angle reset the last time I was in Techstream but you need it anyways for the headlight calibration so it's easy to check if the steering adjustment is available.

Thank you for your help, I have done the steering angle zero and headlight level correction as you said. The picture is the data obtained after I learned the steering angle, can you understand it? I can't quite read it, and I don't know if this is correct.
