Help! Transmission wont engage

The carrier bearing holds the joint shaft in without a c-clip...

Apparently the joint shaft DOES have a c-clip...

Although it may not be necessary because it is held in place by the hanger bearing as mentioned ?? (I dunno... I removed both axles to do my bearings but didn't need to remove my joint shaft)

I could also be confusing it with my old Camry, which most definitely did not have a clip on the passenger side axle.
