Raise or remove the fuel tank... its time to check the steering shaft flex coupler at the box and look around at steering box alignment.
Depending on the front axle (OEM, Aftermarket etc) Id start by checking the location of the steering box on the front axle.
Most have a locating tab.
You may can loosen the box and pivot it the direction needed to allow the steering shaft to clear the column tube.
