It can be fixed
You need a special tool to set the shaft position. The shaft only feeds info to the sensor which talks to the computer. I think you can google for the instructions on replacing the shaft and setting the engine to TDC as you were correct that part of aligning the shaft is to have the engine in that position. The special tool for alignment is the key.
