Default just had a new cv joint put in and it came off the shaft

2004 dodge ram 1500
right side cv joint was replaced yesterday and then last night it walked off the stub shaft not the first time this has happened

I replaced the half shafts a while ago all the parts came from dodge then when i had to replace the right side again the axle would not fully go onto the shaft fully

just yesterday I had the ball joints done and the axle replaced on the right side

but it happened again the axle walked off the shaft and caused a vibration that shook the truck

anyone know why this happens

Isn't there supposed to be a 'clip' on the end of the axle, that holds it in the joint?

Is the truck lifted at all?
