rear axle bearing question

I have been having a time with my 4runner rear axle. I think i have it all now but I have a question about the way the rear axle bearing goes in. The one I was sent has a shoulder made on it, I called trdparts4u.com and they said the shoulder went towards the outside of the vehicle however when we pressed it in that way the bearing doesn't sit all the way down in the cage, it is out just a little bit and it doesn't turn as freely as I think it should. Can any one confirm that this is correct? The original didn't have the extra shoulder on it, it was smooth on both sides. I replaced the Axle shaft, the bearing, the seal and the cage that it presses in to. Thanks in advance.
