So got the bearngs in, I did the job late in the evening because it was much cooler outside and realized after I finished I forgot to replace the inner and outer bearing race and the passenger side. Am I asking for trouble with this? There was no play or strange noises when I rotated the wheel.

I forget things from time to time too... In this case you pretty much have to pull it off and clean up the bearings and repack them and remove and replace the races. Even if they look fine the old races have wear. But in this case! I saw the pictures of your old bearings. You MUST remove them and replace them. Unless you want to repeat that carnage? Dr. McBeek says "replace the race!"
