New driveshaft I ordered is too short

1991 sr5 3.0 4x4 automatic
Ordered a Dorman 936-788, which everything says will fit this truck, but clearly doesn't.

What went wrong here lmao

wow... the flanges are clocked wrong so it's difficult to see if they are compatible, do they line up with the same bolt pattern?

it appears that the tube diameters are different, and lengths don't match up?

that driveshaft assembly is for a 121.5" wheelbase? https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-865...rigin=oesearch

Yeah the flanges are the same and that's the one I ordered.
the shortfall is from the center bearing to the transmission flange
