There is not enough of the rear CV left to bolt to the flange.
Looks like a new CV joint or good/used propshaft is in your future.

bob thanks for the info but I was mistaken on the terminology, this is the center driveline not axles.

The propshaft uses Constant Velocity Joints instead of Universal Joints.
The CV AXLES ALSO use the same type of joint.
No mistake in terminology.

Constant Velocity is a type of joint, not a complete axle or shaft.

Thank you Bob, now that makes sense. I was confusing the joint. Any way to order that joint, or would it be best order a new drive shaft. Looking at that joint I only have the metal o ring left.

Replace the whole center axle and new bolts and nuts.
