As I recall, the backing plate and any needed shims for adjusting end play retains the bearing race. If race will be able to fit without keeping the backing plate from fully seating or affecting the end play adjustment then it should be in far enough. If not then you would need to correct something. You might be able to measure both the race and space with a micrometer to see what kind of clearance you will have. If the space is there and the seal will still be riding on a machined area of the axle shaft then it should be OK.
