In order to seal properly, (and I just did mine a week or two ago - and it doesn't leak... for now...) I used a smooth pipe long enough to straddle the shaft and tapped it "home" to mate the seal with the inner case area. If memory serves me, it went in another eighth inch from where your picture shows it to be. Someone else may have a different experience.
