Default Wheel bearings on wrong? (pics)

I think I may have pressed on the wheel bearing incorrectly, so maybe somebody would be able to verify for me? And I also think in all my stupidity that I put the backing plates onto the wrong sides. Which axle should be longer on a 9 inch for a f-body?

Well thanks, this really sucks! How do you remove the bearings now that they are pressed on? Will I have to buy new bearings as well?

a puller clamp and a shop press. A machine shop might be able to do it for you.

The bearings will need to be replaced, they will be damaged/destroyed when they are removed. Also, the seal on the bearing is supposed to go to the outside of the axle.
