the driveshaft spun in an oblong motion

I replaced the transmission around 2-3 weeks ago. When installing the driveshaft, i noticed that the driveshaft spun in an oblong motion instead of straight. Due to improper spinning of the driveshaft, the rubber coupling/flex plate got chewed up and the metal support pieces in each bolt hole separated from coupling causing the driveshaft to separate from the transmission. So i went yesterday and got a new driveshaft and replaced that. While turning the driveshaft by hand and watching how rotate i noticed that it still spins in an oblong motion. What am i suppose to do to correct this problem so i don't continue wear/tearing the rubber coupling/flex plate apart? Also can u send me a link or video on how to properly check and fill transmission fluid? (the image is from the tow truck driver right after it broke)
