Yah you got one axle shaft wrong with the wrong bearing on it. That is why the offset is wrong. You got all kinds of headaches there huh ?? :(

Pull the axles and measure the bearing 90 degree land the axle presses against. They are at different offsets. One axle is a sealed bearing axle and one axle is a oiled bearing axles. YOU will see where the the seal rides ...THE seal bearing axleshaft will not have a machined surface for the seal to ride on.
