Once the rear retainer (rear motor mount) is installed the rear bearing should not be able to move in and out of the transmission housing. It is likely the rear bearing seized at one time and damaged the rear retainer or you have the wrong rear bearing, if the bearing moves with ease in and out of the transmission housing the hole in the housing may also be slightly enlarged, the fit should be very close, both in the housing and the rear retainer. If not, then even a good bearing outer race may rotate or wobble causing more damage.
