Did I mess up wheel bearing and seal?

Hi,
I seated a wheel bearing, the driver was riding on the middle of the bearing case instead of the outer edge, it looks like the bearing case may have flattened a little, but still moves freely.
Also when I seated one axle seal it went in around 1/8” past flush.
Do these issues constitute redoing the work?
Thanks

If it still moves freely, and none of the bearings are damaged at all I’d say it’s okay, but I don’t know the for sure answer on that, as for the seal, as long as it’s not sideways at all and not damaged, it’ll work just fine, when I put mine in they were well past flush and they’ve sealed just fine.
