Have you had the fitted prop shaft apart?
If so check the joints are in phase.

The UJ's have to line up correctly.

Transfer box mounts? Loose or bent?

If it's as the pic, that's what I mean by phase.
It's not 90 degrees out at one end then it's ok.
So it could be as Jordi says and be the transfer box mounts.

You could get one of these. Not sure what they cost.
