They didn't replace the part with the steering wheel in the same position.

If it is way off (more than a 1/4 turn) make sure they remove the shaft to fix it.

Don't let them throw it on a alignment bed and fix it that way. If they do that they will simple adjust the tie rods to make up for the offset. That wil leave you with little adjustability down the road.
