Remove the frame mounting bolts from the rack. Loosen the upper bolt to that lower universal joint and slide it free from the steering. You mentioned you removed the lower bolt yes? Put it back in place and try the steering without the column in place, make sure it's aligned/working correctly. If not you may have to pull the unit entirely to check the pinion alignment.
Providing it's aligned ok, spray some lubricant on the steering column end. Slide the rack up onto the splined end. One on there loosely, then push the rack upagainst the frame and set the frame bolts. Do a quick steering wheel turn to make sure things are aligned correctly and not binding. If it is, wiggle & adjust the rack. When it's good, tighten everything down.
