I assume this is for a 79-83 pickup?? If so, You have it backwards. The smaller ones go in the balls on the axle housings (where the birfs slide into the axle housing. The larger ones go in the back side of the hub where it rides on the spindle.

This should answer you questions assuming that I understand you properly. IF not, pictures always help

and be sure to label your knuckle cap shims when you remove them so that you put them back in the right location.
