Axle Bearings and Seals

I am currently installing new bearings and seals in an 8.8 rear end in my 85 GT. I noticed when I was putting in the seals, that when they were tapped in place (just inside flush with the end of the housing) that they did not come in contact with the bearings outer edge. Is this correct? There is about a Â¼ inch space between the bearing and seal.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
