No problem.

If you triple click when position the axes, you don’t have to align the red and green axe, it just follows the alignments of the original insertion point axes.

Is there a quick way to actually “reset” the axis instead of manually changing it?

There isn’t a reset for a component’s axes once they’ve been manually positioned. The orientation and location of the component’s axes and origin are part of its definition. If you change the definition, you change the definition. You could explode the component and remake it. The component’s axes will, by default, be parallel to the model axes. I don’t think that’s a good work flow but you could do it.
