The grease fitting is not turned 90 degrees off. It is pressed into the u-joint by the manufacture and can not be moved. The entire u-joint is installed 90 degrees off. In fact both u-joints were installed 90 degrees off.
I took it back to show the shop foreman. He gets the so called mechanic out there cause I was wondering how they greased the joint once installed.

Since we supply the parts and only get labor there I let it go and reported my finding to my boss. He can now deal with it rather than me telling the mechanic what I think of him.
But I should have asked. Made wrong???? How is that??? All the cups are the same size so why didn't your dumb a-- turn the whole u-joint 90 degrees when you put it in??
