Maybe they have aligned them 100% then joined them with concrete. But if that guideway gets dislodged again due to failure of its supports, I doubt the concrete joining them will be strong enough to hold together.
The last time I saw, it seemed that portion of the guideway is still using temporary jacks (or are they temporary jacks?). Are those jacks going to be there forever, perhaps covered in concrete later on?

I drive under that almost every day. They are 100% aligned now and were prior to the concrete joining. The jacks are definitely temporary as they are currently building and pouring the permanent concrete pads in the space between the column and the guideway. After the pads are completed and cured they will lower the guideway onto the concrete pads and remove the temporary jacks and spacers. I recall the same construction methodology on some spots during Millennium Line construction.
