Question Steering Column Upside Down

Help!!
I replaced the heater core in my 2002 JGC, everything went fine but after it was re assembled each time you turn the wheel all the way to the right the horn honks.
After further review it seems that when I removed the steering column it was rotated. The wheel lock is 180 deg. in the wrong direction, is there a trick to getting it all back in order? When I removed the column I had to turn the key forward in order to release the cable that attaches to the cylinder.

Thanks

if the wheel spun freely while disconnected, you probably broke the clockspring.

I appreciate the information, the wheel did spin freely a few times before it was mounted back into place. TY I'll let you know what I find.
