Do landing gear legs need to be timed?

Had a problem with my landing gear. Sheared the shear pin. We were able to make a pin to get me by till I got home. My question is do the legs need to be in line or timed?

I ask because when I was getting ready to leave today the drivers side leg didn't want to retract all the way. I retracted the legs until the motor clicked. Then I pulled the pin to push the inner legs up. The drivers side didn't want to be pushed all the way up. I was able to force it but that isn't usally the case. I was thinking maybe the drivers side was retracted more than the curb side?

I have looked but haven't been able to find what I need. I hope all of this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, John

This is easy to do, connect to your truck and raise legs until free from the ground and all weight is on fifth wheel hitch. Then measure the distance that the outer legs are extended from the bottom of the fifth wheel frame. If different then remove the temporary shear pin that you have in place and run the powered leg to match the Passenger side leg then install your new shear pin and you are done. You can then disconnect as normal from truck hitch.
