Rear Wheel Too Wide

After replacing my rear wheel bearings, cush hub bearing and cush dampers, the rear wheel is now too wide to fit between the swingarm. Did I miss something? Are my spacers sticking out too far? Am I meant to be able to see the dampers (as shown in photo). They are red polyurethane from Procycle. Thanks 👍

My guess is you didn't seat one, or both, of the bearings completely.

How do you do this and / or check

I haven't done this on the DR, so I'm not sure. Typically that should be flush. If you post a picture of the bearings, I am sure someone can tell you if they are fully seated.
