I just did this last night and eyeballed the angle since i didn't have an angle gauge handy.
The drive shaft is a straight shot into the input flange of the diff, with very minimal if any play or flex, unlike the axles and their cv joints. So it doesn't require the same amount of torque as the axles.

Torque to 20 nm (14.75 ft lbs). Then mark the bolt at any point, and rotate till that mark is now 90 degrees clockwise from where it was.
