+1 on this. Did you remove both sodes at the same time ? If so, thats why the asle rotated a bit.
I did one at a time on the 110 but it still rotated a bit. A jack under the diff nose and a long tapered drift through the remaining bolt holes pulled it straight .it was a faff though and I've got a pit too, lying on your back would be a pita I should imagine.
 
...is the order really relevant? should I have fitted the rear screw (marked red) first? I can't imagine.
I will mount the wheel right away and hope that it will fit.

A tapered drift would likely pull that straight. On my 110 (same set up really) I knocked the drift in from the opposite side to where the bolt goes in, once it was lined up the drift protruded to far through for me to get the bolt in, I carefully removed the drift but it shifted slightly again. I then used the old bolt, ground down on the end to a bit of a taper which pulled it all straight again but didn't protrude as far so I could tap the new bolt home. I seem to recall I had to use a pair of 18" pipe stillsons to twist the arm slightly too as I knocked the new bolt through.

I achieved this result yesterday. not much was missing. It fitted at the front, but there was still a misalignment at the rear.
I achieved this result by placing the jack under the differential and lifting it very high.

Maybe I should use this again.

Your getting advice from people who have done this job before, I told you what to do based on what you showed in the picture and I drew a lovely nob on it for you. The answer was there. The best way for someone to learn, is to do this themselves... You can ask questions and not take the advice or quietly get on with it and learn yourself 🤷👍
