Wanting to know if a driveline could or should reach the 180 degree range? I do have a severe pump noise at idle even after a rebuild. The u joints are new, a little play from shaft to yoke .
The driveline is lined up left to right, but the angle is minimal, maybe 1 to 2 degrees.

There are literally hundreds of threads on this subject, but the drive splines should have minimal "slop".

Your alignment seems quite off if you can "see" the offset.

It's imperative that the angular misalignment between the yokes cancels each other out. Meaning if you see 1/2° on the engine side, it should cancel the other way 1/2° to end up with zero misalignment.

The drive line should run warm to the touch... But not hot.
