Should the rear wheel bearings be able to move within the trailing arm and contact the housing flange?

The bearings went in pretty easy after being frozen. When I put in the rear wheel hub, using the technique suggested by Ian and PMB, they seem to have broken free. I can slide them back and forth. Maybe that's the whole purpose of the housing flange, but seems sloppy.
