ye gads, that pinion looks awful. So does the drive shaft, right above the pinion. I am not there to examine it, but I suspect the brass bushing in the gearcase, right above the pinion is badly worn. That throws the pinion off to one side, messing up the gears matching. If I am correct, those new parts are destined to destroy themselves also.
Per your other questions about the seals, both the prop shaft bearing housing and the drive shaft bearing housing have been superseded by different numbers. The superseded parts contain different seals than the original.
Whatever the deal here, I suggest you back off and take another look at your other gears and bushings. I see you fixing to throw good money after bad.
