Im confused by what you mean about the front of the engine rising up?? Im assuming since the driveshaft is not installed properly you havent tightened down the Power Plant frame on the transmission end? Once you have hte entire drive train hooked up properly the engine will sit flat and the front of the engine will not rise up.

To isner the driveshaft make sure the rear wheels are off the ground(use proper jack stands and not just a jack) Remove the ebrake and take the car out of gear so you can rotate the rear tires from underneath the car. This will allow you to rotate the driveshaft so it will properly line up inside the transmission. Once this is done you can tighten down the power plant frame and all your issues will be resolved. Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions.
