I have a sink similar to yours and I end up with a very short pipe section (tail piece) so all the joints line up as they should. If there are uneven connections I would have coated the male pipe with GOOP and slid it into the trap and the put a coating where the seal washer sits and then tighten the nut. A coat of GOOP after a day or so which lets the inner sealer cure will insure all holds water. I hope you did not use it for a day or two so the sealers will cure?
