Yeah, this is sounding likely to me.

1) Bike was okay before disassembly (presumably).
2) Rear was taken apart to install new shock.
3) Things are askew after reassembly.

If things were okay before and nothing untoward happened to the pieces (like, oh, an elephant standing on the swingarm or something) while apart, then the simplest answer is user error in reassembly.

Unsure of the actual mechanism by which one might get that result, having never done the job myself. But from a sheer cause-and-effect logic standpoint, it makes sense.
