Default rear axle swap

I have a 1999 blazier 4 w/d I broke a gear in the axle so i replaced the axle the gear ratio is the same gu6 was the code on the glove box. after i swaped axles out I have a vibration , so i jacked blazer back up and noticed that the drive shaft wobbles at axel end I know that there is 2 different types pf axles for that year 1 buffalo axel and the other i cant remember so I am thinking that the drive shaft dose not match the axle so my question is can iswap axle yoke out and that woulds take care of it or will the match

Have you tried rotating the driveshaft 90 degrees and reinstalling it? Give that a shot first.
