The tail stock of the transmission fits into the transom assembly pretty snug, so unless the receiving portion of the transom assembly is out round or the tail stock on the transmission is wrong, the only way to adjust alignment is raise or lower the front of the engine, which as you have seen makes very little difference in the tail stock position in the transom assembly.
Hopefully someone with rigging experience can offer their insight.
As far as worn out components in the transmission being a contributing factor, I have no idea.
Is the input on the transmission in the center of the tail sock?

Yes that is an oil seal, I have not had a transmission apart so I don't know for sure, but I would think that if the seal appears to not be in the center it may be worth investigating further. But again I don't have any first hand knowledge of the assembly inside the transmission.
Any way of getting a decent photo of the tail stock?

In about a weeks time Just made plans to have my boat moved to an indoor garage where the engine will hoisted out from a gantry. Engine hatch had already been
removed for new glass work and paint & rear bench seat to be reupholstered.......the proverbial "just getting a little things done" could snowball from here on out.

It took a simple sanding to remove the slight ridge of metal built up around the front portion of the spline which prevented
the outdrive yoke to slip back into place.......now the drive slips in perfectly after the metal was deburred....reason outdrive
detached easily, but hard to re-attach.
