can you try and get a clearer pics maybe from a better angle?

what are you doubting?
the seal should be flush with the metal casing and the cv axle should snap in (not pull out easy)

Yeah, blurry pictures. Should be only about 1/8" between the inner CV joint and transmission.

I think the axle is fully inserted into the transmission, but it appears that you did not tap in the oil seal flush with the transmission.
