Drive Shaft Installation

Shoved the DS into the tranny. Now the rear couplings aren't quite lining up with the connectors in the rear. If I recall correctly, I need to jack up the rear of the car and spin the rear tire, this will spin the "thing" onto which the DS connects, so I can line them up, right? Is this the best way? The only way? Or is this not correct. Thanks.
