Question: Torque converter alignment?

Question: Torque converter alignment?
After spending an insane amount of time into restoring my 2.5L X-Type 2004 (with Jatco JF506e tranny), I have now a massive ATF (automatic transmission fluid) leak.
I had removed the transfer case and the transmission to get to the REAR crankshaft seal, which was leaking, and I replaced that.
While being at it, I also swapped all transmission and transfer case seals and O-rings along the way - as a result I have now ATF leaking (2 drops per second after driving, hence: massive leak!)
That leak was not there before, and it does not makes sense after having swapped all seals and O-rings.
But I just stumbled across a note in the X400 Workshop manual, on page 1529, regarding reassembly of the transmission, specifically the torque converter into the transmission:
"Align torque converter and oil pump drive before installing the torque converter!"
I did not know anything about that when I reassembled everything. I was simply sliding the torque converter back on...
Does someone have in-depth insight into what that exactly means (aligning the torque converter), what I should have done, if I caused any serious damage by not having done that (did I e.g. damage the new seal and O-ring behind the torque converter?) and if this is now a matter of removing the transmission again to "align" the torque converter?
Thanks.
