When installing the front inner bearing do I have to have it pressed in?

Its on 90 LX 5.0

i got the bearings from advanced and they had to be pressed in. i had never done this before so i tried and now the passenger wheel has a bit of play. the driver side wheel i did correctly after failing the first time. make sure to get the right parts, not just what the parts store gives you

Are the bearings supposed to sit into the rotors?

Thanks for the help!
