Passenger Side CV Axle too short

Same shit happened to me when I ordered my passenger side CV axle from auto zone and picked up in the store.
I argued with my brother who was installing it and said auto zone it's correct so it must be correct. So make it fit. He told me they are 2 different sizes but I demanded they are the correct part because auto zone said so LOL (stupid of me I know!)
Well my brother continued to install them and once finished. I left and no more than 3 seconds down the street my CV axle falls out of my transmission on me!! I couldn't shift my car into Park or anything! I had to use my Emergency Brake and my brother ended up getting it to where he was able to push my car back up the driveway and into the garage. He then put my old one back on till I was able to take my car to a shop. The shop told me to use genuine parts from NAPA instead of Auto Zone.
