94 Chrysler tilt column swap

[WiscoXJ]

I sawpped a 94 Chrysler model tilt column into my 90 mj yesterday. Everything went well but I'm wondering about one thing I did. I Hastings drill holes in the boot at the base to match the mj and the holes at the top of the column had to be drilled out to slide on the boots on the mj. The only thing that is odd is that the black boot/ seal at the base didn't meet up to the firewall. So I simply sleep it down so it does.

 

Was the the correct thing to do? Or do I need to swap the mount in the interior from the xj to hold the column closer to the firewall? If so I assume I would have to pull the column to steering box shaft and swap it too. Anyone have any input or seen this? All the searches iv found say "direct swap"
