Default 07 GS350 RWD Moog Tie Rod End Issue

I have 07 Lexus GS350 rear wheel drive this past weekend I installed my tie rod ends and ran into an issue. I called Moog to verified the part numbers I before starting the job and everything checked out . I replaced the Inner tie rod,Outter tie rod end, ball joint and sway bar link with all Moog parts. After I installed my tie rod ends the wheel was not aligned straight , so I put a wrench on the inner tie rod end and tried to straighten the wheel. The problem is I ran out of threads on the tie rod end. The wheel is still slightly off. I placed two orders of tie rod ends ,because I thought the first set might be boxed incorrectly, Prior to my first replacement I held the old and new one side by side and they looked to be the same length. My girlfriend threw the bag out with my old parts in them so I could not verify for the second order. I called Moog and they gave me the specs for Inner tie rod and they are 10.118 inches from the face to the end of the tie rod. The outter tie rod end measures 6.72 inches from the hole to the end. Does anyone have a tie rod end for the make and model of my car who can verify this measurement is correct for the one I purchased? Has anyone else had this issue and or what else should i check to correct the issue? Thank you in advance.
