Default New CV axle and now I have a tick and vibration

So I went for a ride in my 2k one last time before I put the turbo kit on (or so I thought). Mid way through the drive I took a turn and gave it some gas and as I shifted from first to second I blew out my passenger CV axle.... I just put in a new one and decided to take it for a drive and immediately noticed a ticking sound as I drove that would speed up with speed. Also I noticed some bad vibrations at around 40MPH. I honestly have no idea what it may be as it is a pretty simple job? But any advice is apreciated. I was thinking that they may have given me the wrong side? I don't know if there is a difference between the two and it may be a long shot but whatever. Thanks again

May have assembled something backwards.

Aftermarket axles are known to vibe bad. You should only use oem axles. What did you use?

Some things autozone and the like are fine for our cars. Good even. Brake rotors for example. Byt all aftermarket axles are problematic. This is one of thise areas you must use oem

Well I guess it's worth the shot, I ordered an OEM one from Honda today but it won't be in for a couple days and I'll just let the car chill. Thanks.
