The only difference between the drives is the steering gear and worm gear.
You bought a gearcase with the wrong gears. Take the gear and worm from your
old gearcase and use it on the new one.

I just replaced the top gear unit on my right 1984 OMC out drive, now
when I turn the steering wheel my two outdrives move in opposite
directions. Is there a left drive and a right drive and if I replaced a
right drive with a left drive would this cause this problem?


Very few own those old stringer drives, and even fewer ever worked on
twins.
