When you say shaft splines, do you mean the drive shaft going into to power head, if you torqued the lower unit on already the shaft splines have to be in the power head.
Now if the motor won't go into neutral or forward it's the shift shaft that needs to be put back together like you removed it, did you reconnect the shift shaft just like you removed it, did you adjust the shifter cables

need to put the controls and the motor in the neutral position before installing the lower unit.
