My ignorance is not bliss. I did not put the drive in forward before removing the lower unit. As a result the prop shaft will not engage and I can't align the outdrive shaft to engage.

Welcome
If you just dropped the lower half of the drive, then no issue

Move throttle to forward
Rotate shift shaft until the prop locks in Reverse (note Rev not Fwd)
Raise the lower half into upper half
