funny new u joint
I put new u joints in my driveshaft. Front side ujoint is fine. But in the rear side ujoint I have slop when I move it up and down, left/right movement is fine. I mean a ujoint has four sides, two for moving left/right and two for moving up/down. The up/down has slop. The slop is like when I move it, it pauses then moves because of the slop or free play. Only that has play in it. I also greased it but did not make a difference. I put the shaft in my car and it is running fine, no problems. Will the slight free play or slop go away by itself?

No, it will stay loose until you do something about it...
you need the correct u-joints (series 3R), and do not let any rollers/pins fall out during install.
