Ok, you didn't post many pics, but I suspect the problem here is twofold...
1)
Mounting, front: The front hanger assembly (mule drive) has four possible mounting positions for the lift frame (rear hanging frame). In the picture below, three of the options are identified. The bottom rear most hole (Position B) is further back and lower for the SGT to accommodate the longer length and increased height of the SGT.
Position A is the normal forward hole that is higher for the regular GT; this is the hole you should be using. Position E is at the same height for a regular GT, but intended for use if additional adjustment range is needed with the belt. I would recommend having the correct belt and avoiding Position E.

The fourth possible front mounting hole was added for the later GT with the high axle. This new front hanger had the GT hole in the same forward position as Position A, but lower to adjust for the new increased height of the GT (after Serial number 821,059).
Mounting, rear: The rear adjustable links should be in
Position C for a regular GT, as it appears you have them in your pic. Position D is for SGT.
I am betting that you have the hanging frame mounted in Position B up front, based on the angle of the rear lift links. They appear to not be hanging straight, which would be caused by using the SGT front hanger Position B on a GT.
2) The second problem is likely that this assembly is from an SGT. The GT and SGT used different hardware kits. The GT used kit 333 and the SGT used kit 332.
The difference in the kits is the belt and the rear lift links. Since your hanging frame appears to have originally been set up in the SGT position, you likely have the lift links from the SGT kit.
You must have the correct GT lift links (and two ferrules, the SGT link on the left side was not adjustable and didn't use a ferrule). The SGT links are longer as they had to make up for the increased height of the tractor. You will never be able to pick the deck up to the proper height with the wrong lift links.
Here is the 333 parts page, proper GT lift links are still available:

If you need another ferrule, that is part # 911-3021. As per the manual, the offset link is installed on the left side.
The hanging frame positions are from the 46GT manual in our Manuals section:

And finally, note in the manual that the GT directions are discussed as "a)", then the SGT as directions "b)"; they don't always call that out at every step.
